Answer:


No

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get if the presented question could be answered by science or not

Looking at the question, we can see it has to do with legislation. The underlying question of if the substances released are harmful could be answered by science. However, after determining the harmful nature of these releases. The required legislation is something that science has nothing to do with

Thus, we can see penalization after discovery of the harmful nature is not a question for the sciences
