Option 1 : Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Assertion (A): The pollutants discharged by industries seriously affect the human health → True

  • The industries discharged hazardous chemicals and pollutants in the air and water which pollutes fresh atmospheric air and pure water. Human beings inhale such polluted air and drink contaminated water which causes serious health-related issues for them.
  • The presence of harmful gases in the air causes air pollution. This causes health issues for human beings and other species around. 
  • The presence of non - biodegradable wastes pollutes the soil. 
  • The presence of sewage pollutants pollutes the water. 
  • All these factors affect the life balance of not only mankind but other species too. 

Reason (R):  The disease pattern of urban society has a close connection with the deteriorated quality of water and air → True

  • The deteriorated quality of water and air cause various health issues for urban society such as cancer, asthma, etc.
  • Leaded gasoline creates high lead exposure conditions in urban areas, with a risk for lead poisoning, primarily in young children.
  • The major urban air pollutants can also give rise to significant respiratory morbidity.
  • Urban air pollution and lead exposure are two of the environmental hazards that WHO assessed as part of its burden-of-disease calculations for the World Health Report 2002. The report estimates that pollution by urban PM causes as much as 5 percent of the global cases of lung cancer, 2 percent of deaths from cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, and 1 percent of respiratory infections.

Hence, both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
