We know that many human activities lead to increasing levels of pollution of the air, water-bodies and soil. Do you think that isolating these activities to specific and limited areas would help in reducing pollution?
Yes. Isolating human activities to specific areas would help in reducing levels of pollution.
For example ;
(i) Having heavy industries outside the main city will control pollution to some extent.
(ii) The pollution caused by these industries will not contaminate water resources, agriculture land, fertile land, etc.
