Liboiron (2021) links pollution to colonial histories by showing that pollution:

• A. Affects all groups equally.
• B. Is a colonial continuation reproducing Indigenous dispossession.
• C. Is purely environmental with no social implications.
• D. Is unrelated to power dynamics.

Answer: (B)

Pollution is not just a chemical or ecological problem; it reveals how control over land, resources, and communities is exercised. Liboiron shows that pollution functions as a colonial continuation by placing waste burdens on Indigenous lands and communities, reinforcing dispossession and ongoing governance over these territories. This view highlights that environmental harm carries social and political consequences—health impacts, disrupted livelihoods, regulatory marginalization, and the persistence of unequal power relations rooted in colonial history. The other statements miss this connection: pollution does not affect all groups equally, it does have social implications, and it is inherently tied to power dynamics rather than existing independently of them.
