Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

(A), (C), (D) only

Environmental pollution results from ‘the release of substances and energy from waste products of human activities.

Air pollution causes various diseases related to respiratory, nervous and circulatory systems.

Noise pollution is location specific and its intensity declines with increase in distance from the source of pollution, i.e. industrial areas, arteries of transportation, airport, etc. Noise pollution is hazardous in many metropolitan and big cities in India.

Though water pollutants are also created from natural sources (erosion, landslides, decay and decomposition of plants and animals, etc.) pollutants from human activities are the real causes of concern. Human beings pollute the water through industrial, agricultural and cultural activities. Among these activities, industry is the most significant contributor.
