What is the pollutant produced from industries and chemical factories?
What is the pollutant produced from industries and chemical factories?
- A. Sediments
- B. Radioactive substances
- C. Toxic heavy metals
- D. organic wastes
Step-by-step solution
Industries and chemical factories frequently release toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium as byproducts, which are common pollutants. Other options like sediments (erosion), radioactive substances (nuclear facilities), and organic wastes (agriculture) are less directly associated with general industrial/chemical activities.
