What action was taken to assess the health impact of the hazardous-waste site on nearby residents?

DNA testing of all residents
Blood samples were collected from residents for VOC analysis
Psychological evaluation of affected residents
Residents were asked to fill out a general health questionnaire online

The correct answer is: DNA testing of all residents

The other options are incorrect because DNA testing and psychological evaluation do not specifically assess the health impact of the hazardous-waste site. Blood samples are more likely to provide accurate information about any presence of harmful volatile organic compounds, but this method still does not directly assess the health impact of the site. Collecting general health information through an online questionnaire may not provide enough data to accurately assess the impact either. DNA testing of all residents is the only option that directly assesses the health impact of the hazardous-waste site.
