Cevap:While living near the industrial plant proved detrimental to his respiratory health, relocating to the countryside provided a 【salubrious】 environment that gradually restored his lungs.

Cevap

The word opposite in meaning to 'detrimental' in this context is 'salubrious' (or 'beneficial' / 'healthful').
The word 'detrimental' means harmful or damaging. In a sentence contrasting a health-damaging industrial location with a health-restoring countryside location, the required word must mean health-giving or beneficial. 'Salubrious' specifically refers to an environment or atmosphere that promotes health and well-being, making it the precise antonym.
