Question

Isabella Banks · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : True, Explanation :  If the marginal social benefit of pollution exceeds its marginal social cost, it indicates that the additional benefits gained from pollution (such as economic activity) outweigh the additional costs (such as health or environmental damage), suggesting that a higher level of pollution could be socially optimal, or in other words, there is currently too little pollution from a cost-benefit perspective.

If at the current amount of pollution its marginal social benefit is greater than its marginal social cost,then there is too little pollution.
