Sustainability

How does air pollution affect public health?

• Air pollution only affects the environment, not public health

• Air pollution can lead to improved public health

• Air pollution has no impact on public health

• Air pollution can lead to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and other health issues.

Explain the impact of global warming on agriculture.

• Agriculture will benefit from global warming as it will create longer growing seasons

• Global warming can lead to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, affecting crop yields and livestock productivity.

• Global warming only affects urban areas, not agriculture

• Global warming has no impact on agriculture

What are some of the ways in which plastic pollution can be reduced?

• Using reusable bags, bottles, and containers, recycling plastic materials, and supporting policies to reduce single-use plastics.

• Burning more plastic for energy

• Dumping plastic waste in the ocean

• Using more single-use plastic products

How can individuals contribute to reducing air pollution?

• By using public transportation, carpooling, biking, walking, reducing energy consumption, and supporting clean energy initiatives.

• By burning more fossil fuels for energy

• By using more cars and increasing fuel consumption

• By supporting industries that heavily pollute the air

What are the long-term effects of global warming on the environment?

• Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

• Long-term effects include habitat loss, species extinction, changes in ecosystems, and increased frequency of natural disasters.

• Increase in biodiversity

• Decrease in air pollution

Describe the impact of plastic pollution on the food chain in marine ecosystems.

• Plastic pollution has no impact on the food chain in marine ecosystems.

• Plastic pollution only affects land animals, not marine animals.

• Marine animals can easily adapt to consuming plastic as part of their diet.

• Plastic pollution can harm marine animals and introduce toxic chemicals into the food chain.

What are the health risks associated with prolonged exposure to air pollution?

• Respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer

• Headaches, insomnia, and hair loss

• Skin diseases, digestive issues, and diabetes

• Joint pain, allergies, and obesity

How does global warming contribute to changes in weather patterns?

• By causing shifts in temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns.

• By reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

• By creating more stable and predictable weather patterns

• By causing an increase in volcanic activity

What are some sustainable agricultural practices that can help mitigate the impact of global warming?

• Burning fossil fuels

• Deforestation

• Crop rotation, agroforestry, and organic farming

• Using chemical pesticides
