Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

The environmental pollution can be define as the contamination of the biological and physical components of the environment such as lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere.

The release of toxic gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and others are the irritating gases which affects the respiratory system of the human body. These gases cause airborne diseases such as asthma, bronchitis and others.

The discharge of contaminants in the water body such as industrial waste, agriculture waste are deteriorating the quality of water. The water becomes unfit for drinking and causes water borne diseases.
