Question

Australia is battling water and air pollution caused mainly by: nuclear power, mining, pesticides, or oil spills?

Answer 1

Mining and pesticides are the main causes of water and air pollution in Australia. Mining activities, including the extraction of coal, metals, and other minerals, can release toxic chemicals and heavy metals into waterways and the air. Pesticides used in agriculture can also contaminate water sources and contribute to air pollution through their use and exposure. Nuclear power and oil spills are not significant contributors to water and air pollution in Australia.
