Question

We know that many human activities lead to increasing levels of pollution of the air, water-bodies and soil. Do you think that isolating these activities to specific and limited areas would help in reducing pollution​

Answer 1

Many human activities lead to increasing levels of pollution of the air, water-bodies and soil. Isolating such activities to specific and limited areas may help in reducing water and soil pollution but it may hardly make any difference to air pollution severity. The reason is gases will spread from isolated places and reach everywhere. Instead of isolating we must stress on sustainable management of our resources and cut down or replace their use like using cleaner fuels like CNG in place of fossil fuels.

Answer 2

Answer:

Limiting activities that cause pollution to certain areas will not have long lasting benefits. This is because polluted air and water can be carried to far off places. Similarly, pollutants from the soil can leach into underground water or can be absorbed by the plants growing in the polluted soil. Thus, the pollutants will enter many different food chains and affect many living organisms.
