Question 3 • GA-GSE Health Education

Which is a source of land pollution?

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

Explanation

Fertilizer used on a farm can spread onto or into the surrounding soil, adding chemicals that pollute the land. Heavy traffic exhaust and tobacco smoke mainly pollute the air, while mold on a windowsill is not a broad source of land pollution. The correct choice is fertilizer running off from a large agricultural farm.
