Question 6 • Contemporary Health

Which is a source of land pollution?

Answer
A
heavy traffic producing large amounts of exhaust
B
people smoking tobacco outside a building
C
fertilizer running off from a large agricultural farm
D
mold growing on an indoor windowsill

Explanation

Land pollution occurs when harmful substances contaminate soil or land. Fertilizer running off a farm can carry chemicals into the soil and nearby land, so it is a source of land pollution. Heavy traffic mainly pollutes the air, and mold on an indoor windowsill is not a broad source of land pollution.
