Multiple choice

Environmental pollution as caused by garbage or produced by homes and industries has been shown to cause clogging and pollution of different water sources. The Union Ministry for Water Resources has recommended that people limit their daily garbage output to two-thirds the normal output. Many water researchers, however, feel that even these limits do not adequately protect the public from the ill-effects of water pollution.

Which of the following, if true, would support the water researchers' view as described above?

  1. The recommended limits on garbage production do not specify the fine to be imposed if limits are not adhered to.

  2. Waste produced by industries is much more harmful than garbage produced at homes and so, more stringent laws should be placed on industries than those on homes.

  3. Use of recycled paper should be preferred than computerised documents.

  4. The government has neglected efforts to mandate more stringent standards for environmental pollution.

  5. None of these
