Question

Which of the following will help to control soil pollution?

• A. Use of organic fertiliser
• B. Deforestation
• C. Use of excessive chemicals
• D. Overgrazing

Answer 1

The correct option is A Use of organic fertiliser

Use of excessive chemicals and dumping industrial waste in soil are the main causes of soil pollution. These will only alleviate the problem of soil pollution.

On the other hand, deforestation (cutting down of trees) and overgrazing will not help us tackle soil pollution.

However, using organic fertilisers instead of chemical fertilisers can help us tackle soil pollution to a large extent.
