October 17th Climate Companion Quiz Answer '❌ False'! 'More Factories, Less Air Pollution?' Full Explanation & Climate Action for an Eco-Friendly Future!
The 'Climate Companion Quiz' encourages us to learn environmental facts and practice climate action every day! On October 17th, a crucial question about the relationship between industry and air pollution was posed. Beyond simply getting the right answer, let's take some time to explore the environmental implications of the question and the practical steps we can take. Learn why eco-friendly industrial transition and our climate actions are so important through today's quiz!
1. October 17th Climate Companion Quiz Question & Answer Revealed!
Today's (October 17th) Climate Companion Quiz question is as follows:
❓ As the number of factories increases, air pollution decreases, and air quality improves.
⭕ True ❌ False
🎯 Answer: ❌ False!
As the number of factories increases, air pollution rises, and air quality deteriorates. Beyond a simple OX quiz, let's delve deeply into why 'False' is the correct answer.
2. Why is 'False' the Answer? (Industrial Sector, a Major Culprit of Air Pollution)
The reason why today's answer is 'False' is scientifically clear. This is because as the number of factories increases, the amount of pollutants discharged from industrial processes also increases.
- Major Pollutants:
- Greenhouse Gases: Carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), sulfur oxides (SO₂) are representative pollutants and major contributors to climate change. Manufacturing, in particular, is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions due to its high energy consumption.
- Fine Dust: Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), along with vehicle exhaust and factory smoke, can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
- Other Harmful Substances: Sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), etc., react in the atmosphere to form ozone and smog, adversely affecting health.
- Ministry of Environment Data: According to data from the Ministry of Environment, approximately 37% of South Korea's air pollution emissions come from the industrial sector. This proves that an increase in factories leads to increased pollutant emissions, making it difficult to improve air quality.
- Resulting Problems: An increase in factories can lead to problems such as deteriorating local air quality (increased fine dust concentration in industrial complex areas) and urban heat island effects (rising ambient temperatures due to heat from factories and roads).
3. Not All Factories are Bad! (Efforts for Eco-Friendly Industrial Transition)
However, not all factories exclusively have a negative impact on the environment. Recently, many companies, recognizing the severity of climate change, are actively making efforts to reduce pollution through eco-friendly process transitions.
- Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Technology: A technology that captures carbon dioxide emitted from industrial processes, stores it, or utilizes it, contributing to greenhouse gas reduction.
- Building Renewable Energy-Based Production Systems: A method that significantly reduces carbon emissions by incorporating clean energy sources like solar and wind power into factory operations.
- Adopting Waste Heat Recovery Technology: Reutilizing waste heat generated during processes to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Through these technological innovations, we are moving towards a 'world where air quality does not worsen even with more factories.' Continuous collaboration between governments and businesses, stricter environmental regulations, and support policies for eco-friendly technologies are needed.
4. Small Climate Actions We Can Take (Daily Carbon Neutral Habits)
Even without grand efforts, small actions in our daily lives can collectively change the future of our planet.
- Transportation: Reduce carbon footprint by walking, cycling for short distances, and using public transportation.
- Energy: Save electricity – unplug unused cords, maintain appropriate heating/cooling temperatures.
- Consumption: Use reusable cups/bags, reduce unnecessary consumption, avoid excessive packaging.
- Recycling: Strictly separate waste, reduce single-use items and plastic usage.
These daily climate companionships are the true beginning of environmental protection.
5. Climate Companion Quiz, More Than Just a Quiz
'Climate Companion Quiz' is not just an event. It's a participatory educational campaign that allows you to learn environmental knowledge about climate change, carbon neutrality, and air pollution, and put it into practice by solving new questions every day. From correcting misconceptions, as in today's quiz, to taking small actions – that's the true meaning of climate companionship.

Environmental Responsibility Learned Through the 'Factories and Air Pollution' Quiz
The answer to the October 17th Climate Companion Quiz was '❌ False'. We confirmed once again that as the number of factories increases, air pollution worsens and air quality deteriorates. Industrial growth is important, but environmental responsibility must also be considered simultaneously. Technological innovation that minimizes pollution should take precedence over increasing the number of factories, and our individual small actions can also create significant change. Based on the knowledge gained from today's quiz, I hope we can all strive for a day where we walk alongside our planet.
