The presence of ozone in the troposphere-
1. Protects us from UV radiation.
2. Protects us from X-ray radiation.
3. Protects us from the greenhouse effect.
4. Generates photochemical smog.
Incorrect statement among the following regarding ozone is-
1. In the stratosphere, it forms a protective shield against UV radiation.
2. It is a toxic gas and its reaction with NO gives NO2.
3. In the stratosphere, CFCs release chlorine-free radicals which react with O3 to give chlorine dioxide radicals.
4. In the atmosphere, it is depleted by CFCs.
The gas released during anaerobic degradation of vegetation may lead to:
