Government has already taken action against air pollution by introducing _____________.
(A) Wind energy.
(B) Solar energy.
(C) Renewable energy.
(D) All of the above.
Solution
Hint : We know that the major causes of air pollution are coal and carbon combustion, manufacturing and chemical production, mining operations, indoor pollution, high-rate renewable gas emissions, etc. a lot of other causes lead to air and water pollution.
Complete Step By Step Answer:
Air pollution is caused by releasing various gases into the atmosphere, finely divided solids, or finely dispersed liquid aerosols at rates that exceed the environment's natural capacity to dissipate and dilute or consume them. These compounds can achieve concentrations in the air that cause unwanted effects on health and economy. Manufacturing processes can produce virtually all the common air pollutants. Some of these are created by combustion of fossil fuels driving the manufacturing process, resulting in oxides of particulate matter, ozone and nitrogen. Water pollution is caused by leaking different substances into subterranean groundwater or into lakes, streams, rivers, estuaries and oceans to the point where the substances interfere with the beneficial use of water or with the natural functioning of ecosystems. Apart from releasing substances such as chemicals or microorganisms, water pollution may also include releasing energy into water bodies in the form of radioactivity or heat. Governments have already taken action against air pollution by introducing green energy. Like wind energy, solar energy and renewable energy to minimize burning of fuels which cause heavy air pollution.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
Note :
Remember that air pollution can have a direct impact on water pollution. If pollutants such as sulfur dioxide fall up into the air, they can combine to produce acid rain. Acid rain can turn waterways poisonous and can kill fish and other animals. Water pollution can have major environmental impacts.
