Which risk increases within a gas-filled radiation detector when the fill gas’ purity diminishes?

💡 Explanation

Increased gas impurity elevates the probability of electron-ion recombination following ionization, because impurities act as recombination centers. Therefore, fewer electrons reach the anode, rather than contributing to amplification because drifted electrons recombine earlier in the device.
