The atmospheric brown cloud over much of China may be reduced by

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The atmospheric brown cloud is largely caused by the burning of fossil fuels and biomass for energy. Therefore, reducing the reliance on these sources of energy is the best way to reduce the brown cloud. Switching to cleaner sources of energy such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, investing in energy efficiency measures, and implementing policies to reduce emissions from transportation are all potential solutions. Switching from biomass to coal (A) would not be a solution as both are significant sources of air pollution. Switching from natural gas to biomass (B) may not be feasible for all areas, and could still contribute to air pollution. Climate change (C) may exacerbate the problem by promoting temperature inversions, which could lead to the accumulation of pollutants in certain areas.
