Solution 2

Trees must be planted in Industrial areas because:

  1. Trees act as natural carbon sinks, absorbing toxic industrial emissions like carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
  2. The wide surface area of leaves traps suspended particulate matter, significantly reducing heavy dust pollution.
  3. Thick rows of trees serve as acoustic barriers, effectively dampening loud noise from heavy industrial machinery.
  4. They release massive amounts of oxygen through photosynthesis, actively purifying the contaminated local atmosphere.
  5. Extensive root systems bind the soil, preventing erosion and filtering hazardous chemical runoff before it reaches water bodies.
