Question

Many school cafeterias serve food on paper products (paper plates, paper cups, cardboard trays, etc.) rather than using reusable plates, glasses, and trays. In many cases, these paper products are not made from recycled paper. What type of pollution is demonstrated in this real world example?

Group of answer choices

Toxic

Sediment

Nutrient

Bacterial

Answer 1

Sediment

Step-by-step explanation:

Paper and cardboard are made from trees. As demand for paper and cardboard increases, forests will decrease in size as trees are logged. This will expose more areas to erosion and cause sediment pollution.

Answer 2

Bacterial pollution is demonstrated in the example shown in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Bacterial pollution is the type of contamination that is caused by the presence of microbe in the product that causes discomfort in our body.
• There are many types of viruses that is beneficial too, but some are very deadly and dangerous.
• Bacterial contamination is largely concerned in the paper industry.
• So the cafeterias who serve food on paper plates may get high risk of bacterial pollution.
