Question 5 • World History

Besides overcrowding, in what other ways did industrialization affect the physical environment? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
Poverty frequently led to crime.
B
Factories filled the air with smog.
C
Lack of sanitation caused water pollution.
D
Dirty conditions led to disease.
E
People often earned little money.

Explanation

Industrialization harmed health and the environment through dirty living conditions, factory pollution, and poor sanitation. Dirty conditions helped spread disease, factories released smog into the air, and inadequate sanitation polluted water. Low wages and crime were social and economic effects, not direct effects on the physical environment.
