Task 1. Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F):
Land pollution is the destruction of the earth’s land surfaces, often directly or indirectly as a result of man’s activities and their misuse of land resources. It occurs when waste is not disposed of properly, or can occur when humans throw chemicals onto the soil in the form of pesticides, insecticides and fertilizers during agricultural practices. Exploitation of minerals has also contributed to the destruction of the earth’s surface. Contaminated lands can cause problems in human health and also cause various kinds of cancers. Moreover, dump sites and landfills also come with serious problems like very bad smell and odour in the town. The greatest prevention to land pollution is in the three ‘R's: Reduce Waste, Reuse things and Recycle things.
