What is true about open burning of construction debris in major population areas?

It is widely promoted
It is illegal
It is allowed only during the summer
There are no restrictions on it

The correct answer is: It is illegal

Open burning of construction debris in major population areas is illegal due to regulations aimed at protecting public health and the environment. Local and state laws are designed to prevent air pollution and manage waste disposal effectively. Open burning can release harmful pollutants into the air, which can affect large populations, especially in urban settings where air quality is already a concern. Because of the potential harm to residents and the environment, strict regulations are enforced, making it illegal to conduct such burning activities in these areas. Compliance with local waste management practices is essential for contractors and builders to avoid fines and ensure community well-being.
