Question

Anthropogenic pollution is found in remote regions of the arctic and antarctica even though there are no polluting industries or cities in these areas. this is an example of:

a. environmental injustice.
b. transboundary pollution.
c. depositional pollution.
d. environmental racism.

Answer 1

This is an example of transboundary pollution. It is known as transboundary pollution to pollution that originates in a country but causes environmental damage in other countries. This contamination is spread by air or water and can spread in one or several countries. It is common for many countries with high levels of pollution to contaminate one or several countries that can produce little or no pollution. In this case, remote regions in Antarctica are contaminated despite not being waste producers

Answer 2

The.correct answer is c. depositional pollution.
Even though there are no industries, and thus pollutants in those regions, they do have a lot of pollution, and it increases every year. This is due to the fact that the pollutants move with the sea currents and with the winds. The sea currents transport the harder and bigger pollutants, while the winds transport the pollutants in gas form and the ones that are tiny particles. So both of these natural phenomenons are transporting pollutants to the poles and make depositions of them.
