Which statement about green spaces is NOT true?

• A. They can increase physical activity
• B. They can improve mental health
• C. They can sometimes increase property values
• D. They decrease air quality

Answer: (D)

Green spaces generally boost community health by encouraging physical activity, supporting mental well-being, and even increasing property values. The statement that they decrease air quality isn’t accurate because vegetation helps filter pollutants, produces oxygen, and cools the air, which can reduce smog and improve overall air quality. While some people may experience pollen-related allergies, the air-cleaning and cooling benefits of green spaces are well-supported, making that option not true.
