Answer: The given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Incineration: It is a technique in which organic substance present in waste material is burned down to break them into its components.

For: Example : Burning of powder of wooden chips gives carbon dioxide gas ,nitrogen-dioxide in small amounts and heat energy.

Although incineration can break down harmful chemicals but the by-product formed are hazardous because:

  • Oxides of nitrogen and sulfurs are also released which pollutes the air and becomes the main cause for acid rains.
  • Green house gases are produced which disturbs the balance of atmosphere and climate.
  • Increases air pollution by which it becomes unfit to breathe in.
  • Also pollutes soil.

Hence, the given statement is true.
