Question

'X' is one of the methods of reducing the waste in the atmosphere. But it causes air pollution.
What is 'X'?

• A. Collecting the waste
• B. Throwing the waste in the bins
• C. Burning the waste
• D. Discharging the waste in the water

Answer 1

The correct option is C Burning the waste

One way of dealing with hugely accumulated waste is to burn it down. It does reduce the volume of waste, but the burning of waste releases a lot of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, thus causing air pollution. To minimise air pollution, waste is burned inside a properly designed furnace under very carefully controlled conditions.
