    Solutions

    Correct Answer :- a

    Explanation : Classical smog does not contain any secondary pollutants. It is a mixture of fog, sulfur dioxide and coal smoke particulates

    Photochemical smog is composed of primary and secondary pollutants.Primary pollutants, which include nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, are introduced into the atmosphere via vehicular emissions and industrial processes.Secondary pollutants, like ozone, result from the reaction of primary pollutants with ultraviolet light. It is most common in sunny and dry cities, like Los Angeles.

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    Read the following statements:
    i. carbondioxide is a qualitative pollutant.
    ii. carbondioxide is already present in environment and is termed as pollutant when it ’s concentration increases in the environment:

    Solutions

    Carbon dioxide is a quantitative pollutant. This gas is already present in environment in small quantity. When its concentration increases in the environmentit is termed as pollutant. It may cause greenhouse effect also.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    The dust collection efficiency of Electrostatic precipitator is affected by the particle size of the aerosol to be collected, so :

    Solutions

    Electrostatic precipitator is used to remove particulate matters from chimneys of factories. The dust collection efficiency of electrostatic precipitator is affected by the particle siz of the aerosol to be collected so, the collection efficiency is high for large particles and low for the small particles.

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

    Planting trees on both the sides of roads and highways is called providing green muffler. It is to reduce :

    Solutions

    Planting trees on both the side of roads and highways is called providing green muffler. It is done to reduce noise pollution to nearby residential areas.

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25

    Irreparable computers and other electronic goods are known as

    Solutions

    Irreparable computers and other electronic goods are known as e-wastes or electronic wastes. E-wastes are buried in landfills or incinerated.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    Various methods applied for removing particulate pollutants from air employs:

    Solutions

    For removing particulate pollutants from air various methods are applied such as use of activated charcoal and calcium hydroxide that absorbs the particulate matters form polluted air.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    Deoxygenation of water causes :
    i. conversion of eutrophic water body back into oligotrophic.
    ii. growth of anaerobic microbes producing secondary pollutants like H2 S.

    Solutions

    Deoxygenation of water bodies means reducing the oxygen from the water. Deoxygenation do not convert eutrophic water body back into oligotrophic. In such waters growth of anaerobic microbes producing secondary pollutants like H2 S.so, the statement i is wrong and ii  is correct.

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    Huge quantity of sewage is dumped in a river, the BOD will

    Solutions

    Huge quantity of sewage is dumped in a river, the BOD will increase as sewage contain large amount of organic matter that support large number of aquatic microbes that consume oxygen present in water.

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    Acid rain is due to

    Solutions

    Acid rain is due to air pollution. Burning of fossils fuels release sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that combine with water to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid during rain.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    Eutrophication of water body occurs due to addition of

    Solutions

    Eutrophication of water body occurs due to addition of detergents, fertilizers and untreated sewage.
