Which industrial process is a significant contributor to VOC emissions? A) Plastic manufacturing B) Textile dyeing C) Forest fire combustion D) Agricultural harvesting

Understand the Problem

The question is asking to identify which of the listed industrial processes contributes significantly to VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions. The focus is on understanding the relationship between industrial activities and environmental impact.

More Information

Plastic manufacturing processes release VOCs due to plastic resins, additives, or release agents used during production.

Tips

Avoid assuming the natural processes like forest fire combustion as significant in VOC emissions given they are typically more associated with direct carbon emissions.
