Answer 2

Answer:  

i. 'Excessive use' of 'fertilizer, chemicals, and pesticides' in cultivation causes 'air pollution' – False  

ii. 'Excessive use of plastic bags' causes 'land pollution' – True  

Explanation:  

• The use of excessive fertilizers, pesticides, and chemicals releases a number of toxins in the ground and land, thereby making it difficult for the growth of crops and in return harms the fertility of the soil. This eventually causes land pollution and not air pollution.
• The use of excessive plastic bags, leads to high plastic pollution and dumping of plastic in the land and water. This leads to land as well as water pollution.
