    Humans living closer to refineries are more at risk of developing ________.

    • Flu

    • Scars

    • Cancer

    • Babies

    Correct Answer
    A. Cancer
    Explanation
    Living closer to refineries can increase the risk of developing cancer due to exposure to harmful pollutants and chemicals released during the refining process. Refineries emit various carcinogens such as benzene, formaldehyde, and sulfur dioxide, which can have long-term health effects on nearby residents. These pollutants can enter the air, water, and soil, leading to potential inhalation, ingestion, or absorption into the body. Prolonged exposure to these toxic substances increases the likelihood of developing various types of cancer, including lung, bladder, and leukemia. Therefore, individuals living in close proximity to refineries are more susceptible to cancer.

    Styrofoam is a type of plastic made from polystyrene, which is derived from crude oil. Crude oil is a non-renewable fossil fuel that takes hundreds of years to decompose naturally. Therefore, a styrofoam cup, being made from crude oil-based material, would also take a long time to decompose. In this case, it would take approximately 400 years for a styrofoam cup to decompose.
