Which of the following is considered an environmental hazard that managers must address?

Smoking
Noise pollution
Radon
Pet dander

The correct answer is: Radon

Radon is considered an environmental hazard that property managers must specifically address because it is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can seep into buildings from underground sources, particularly in certain geographic areas. Exposure to high levels of radon over extended periods is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, making it a serious health concern for residents. Property managers have a responsibility to ensure that apartment complexes are safe for tenants, which includes conducting radon testing and implementing mitigation strategies if necessary. While smoking, noise pollution, and pet dander can affect the living environment and tenant comfort, radon is classified as a more significant environmental hazard due to its potential long-term health effects and the specific regulatory requirements surrounding mitigation.
