Which risk increases when tritium leak contaminates groundwater?

💡 Explanation

Tritium undergoes beta decay, emitting low-energy electrons; this deposition of radiation through ionization can cause DNA damage, therefore enhancing the risk of cellular mutagenesis, rather than affecting atmospheric gas or surface tension because those are physical effects.
