Pollution control

Pollution control is all about making sure things like air, water, and soil are clean and healthy. It works to keep things like chemical waste, smog, and garbage from getting into our air, water, or soil. To do this, government officials, businesses, and everyday people all have to work together to prevent and reduce pollution. People can help by using fewer plastics, driving less, and recycling. Businesses can help by using more efficient processes, like reducing their use of chemicals, that help reduce the amount of waste they create. Government officials can help by creating laws that set limits and standards on businesses and people to help keep things like air, water, and soil clean.
