Tropospheric pollution arises due to the presence of:
1. | SO2, SO3, and NO2, in the lowest layer of the atmosphere. |
2. | SO2, SO3, and NO2, in the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. |
3. | SO2, SO3, and NO2, in the middle layer of the atmosphere. |
4. | All of the above. |
Gases responsible for greenhouse effect are :
1. Carbon dioxide (CO2)
2. Ozone (O3)
3. Nitrous oxide (N2O)
4. All of the above.
Statues and monuments in India are affected by acid rain because of the formation of :
1. | CaSO4 on the reaction of acid rain with limestone. |
2. | CaCO3 on the reaction of acid rain with limestone. |
3. | Ca(HCO3)2 on the reaction of acid rain with limestone. |
4. | None of the above. |
The correct statement(s) regarding photochemical smog is/are:
1. | It occurs in a dry, sunny climate. |
2. | It is oxidizing in nature. |
3. | It is composed of PAN, acrolein, formaldehyde, nitrogen oxide, and ozone. |
4. | All of the above. |
The reaction/s involved during the formation of photochemical smog are:
\(1. \space NO_2(g) \rightarrow NO(g) + \stackrel{\cdot}{O(g)}\)
\(2. \stackrel{\cdot}{O(g)} + O_2(g) \rightarrow O_3(g)\)
\(3.\space O_3(g) + NO(g) \rightarrow NO_2(g) + O_2(g)\)
4. All of the above
The reaction(s) involved in ozone layer depletion in the stratosphere is/are:
1. | |
2. | |
3. | |
4. | All of the above |
Consequence(s) of ozone hole is/are:
1. | They cause death of many phytoplanktons. |
2. | Excess exposure may even cause mutation in plants. |
3. | It leads to the ageing of skin, cataracts, skin cancer, and sunburns. |
4. | All of the above. |
The major pollutant(s) of water pollution is/are:
1. Pathogens.
2. Organic waste.
3. Chemical components.
4. All of the above.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is-
1. | Amount of oxygen required by bacteria to decompose organic matter in a certain volume of a sample of water. |
2. | Amount of CO2 required by bacteria to decompose organic matter in a certain volume of a sample of water. |
3. | Amount of O3 required by bacteria to decompose organic matter in a certain volume of a sample of water. |
4. | None of the above |
The major source(s) of soil pollution is/are:
1. Industrial waste.
