which environmental concern was rachel carson most passionate about? the negative impact of pollution on the ozone layer the negative impact of illegal dumping on water pollution the negative impact of overfishing on fish populations the negative impact of pesticides on plant and animal life
Rachel Carson was a marine biologist and conservationist. Her book Silent Spring focused on the harmful effects of pesticides (like DDT) on the environment, including plant and animal life. It wasn't about ozone layer pollution (that became a major concern later with research on CFCs), illegal dumping (not her main focus), or overfishing (though she was concerned with marine life, Silent Spring was specifically about pesticides).
