What percentage experienced increased physical health issues due to toxicity?

• A. 17 Percent
• B. 15.4 Percent
• C. 1 Percent
• D. 5 Percent

Answer: (B)

Measuring how toxicity in the workplace affects health uses percentages to show how many people report physical health changes. The value 15.4 percent represents the exact portion of respondents who said their physical health worsened or was newly affected by toxicity. If the survey included about 1,000 employees, this would translate to roughly 154 people experiencing increased physical health issues due to toxicity, indicating a meaningful but not majority-level impact. This precise figure comes from the data itself, which is why it’s the best match. The other numbers would imply a larger or smaller share than what the data show: 17 percent is a higher estimate, while 5 percent or 1 percent would indicate a much smaller effect.
