Question

Nuclear waste is one of the sources of soil pollution.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

When the wastes are disposed in the ground, there is leaching of the chemicals from the waste. This results in the soil pollution and contamination of the ground water. The oil and fuel, nuclear wastes and the coal ash are dumped by making pits in the ground. This results in the loss of the fertility and quality of the soil. So, nuclear waste is a source of soil pollution.
