Which of the following is NOT a direct effect of water pollution?
ASpread of waterborne diseases
BDeath of aquatic life
CRespiratory problems in humans
DContamination of drinking water
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Identify effects caused by water pollution
Water pollution affects water quality, aquatic organisms, and human health through contaminated water.
Step 2: Analyze each option
Spread of waterborne diseases, death of aquatic life, and contamination of drinking water are direct effects of water pollution. Respiratory problems are mainly caused by air pollution, not water pollution.
Final Answer:
Respiratory problems in humans → Option C
Quick Check:
Non-effect of water pollution = Respiratory problems ✅
Quick Trick:Link respiratory issues primarily to air pollution.
Common Mistakes:
Assuming water pollution causes respiratory problems directly.
