Answers
Answer:
Duming of industrial wastes
Answer:
The correct answer is option (c) Dumping of industrial wastes.
Explanation:
Dumping of industrial wastes has enormous quantities of different chemicals which get collected on the top layer of soil, resulting in the defeat of fertility of the soil. Such failure of fertility eventually results in differences in the ecological balances.
Industrial wastes have various quantities of toxic contents and hazardous chemicals such that when deposited in soil, they influence the soil layer stability in the topsoil, therefore decreasing the soil fertility and biological activity of the soil.
Burning fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and petroleum; chemical solvents utilized in dyeing and tanning enterprises, untreated gas and the liquid waste existing discharged into the environment, and improper dumping of radioactive material exist some of the major reasons for industrial pollution.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (c) Dumping of industrial wastes.
