Question

What steps can we take to prevent soil pollution?

• A. Recycle materials as much as possible
• B. Use biodegradable materials over non-biodegradable ones wherever possible
• C. Clear trees and buildings for waste disposal
• D. Dispose toxic chemicals directly into landfills

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Recycle materials as much as possible
B Use biodegradable materials over non-biodegradable ones wherever possible

We must recycle materials and items as much as possible. Glass, plastic, and other materials can be easily recycled. Most of the household cleaning products, solvents, paints, automotive fluids, as well as aerosol containers which are toxic chemicals must be disposed of in designated containers instead of landfills where they will leach into the soil and cause more erosion. We can plant more trees as they reduce land and air pollution and also increase biodiversity and stop soil erosion.
