Question

Among the following, which will not help to reduce air pollution?

• B. Use catalytic converters on motor vehicles
• C. Fix electric precipitators to factory chimneys
• D. Ban smoking in public places such as in offices

Answer 1

The correct option is A Burn household rubbish in incinerators

Some measures indeed help to reduce the stress on the environment like a use of catalytic converters in vehicles and ESPs in chimneys reduce the air pollutants going in an atmosphere. Smoking is injurious to the health of smoker and passive smokers too who have to inhale the smoke in their lungs causing diseases. Incinerators produce a lot of ash and residue which is not suitable for burning so it increases the air pollution.
