Verified by Experts

We know that many human activities increases pollution. But by limiting these activities to certain area would not reduce pollution. Air, water and soil are the natural resources which are interrelated. They cannot be limited to a certain area. Air is polluted with the rise in the level of` CO_2` and other air pollutants. These air pollutants are carried away to other places by the winds. Water pollution is caused due to decrease in the level of oxygen dissolved in water and by adding toxic substances to various water bodies. This causes the death of aquatic life forms. This affects the food chain and food web. In the same way soil pollution leads to decrease in soil fertility and soil erosion. So, by limiting different human activities to specific areas the problem of pollution can.t be resolved.
