The correct answer is

Is human health not being impacted by fossil fuel?

The correct answer is Is human health not being impacted by fossil fuel?.

While active voice is generally preferred for clarity and directness, passive voice is useful in specific contexts, such as: When the action is more important than the doer (e.g., "The experiment was conducted carefully"). When the doer is unknown or irrelevant (e.g., "My wallet was stolen"). In scientific or technical writing to maintain objectivity (e.g., "The solution was heated to 100°C"). The key to correct transformation lies in identifying the tense of the active verb and applying the corresponding "be + past participle" structure for the passive voice, ensuring subject-verb agreement with the new subject (the original object).
