Explanation

Working in a tunnel can be dangerous due to the lack of oxygen. In an enclosed space like a tunnel, there may not be enough fresh air circulating, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels.

Without sufficient oxygen, it becomes difficult for workers to breathe properly, creating a hazardous working environment.
