What concept encompasses substitution of hazardous substances for safety improvements?

  1. Pollution Control

  2. End-of-Pipe Interventions

  3. Pollution Prevention

  4. Waste Management

The correct answer is: Pollution Prevention

Pollution prevention encompasses the avoidance or use of less hazardous substances in the first place, while the other options focus on addressing pollutants after they have been created. Pollution control aims to reduce the release of pollutants into the environment, while end-of-pipe interventions involve treating or containing pollutants once they have been created. Waste management primarily involves the proper disposal of pollutants. So, among the options, only pollution prevention directly addresses the substitution of hazardous substances for safety improvements.
