Pollution:
1. Any undesirable change in physical characteristics of air, land water and soil
2. Any undesirable change in biological characteristics of air, land water and soil
3. Any undesirable change in physical, chemical and biological characteristics of air, land water and soil
4. Any undesirable change in physical and chemical characteristics of air, land water and soil
Agents that bring undesirable change in biological, physical and chemical environment is called
(1) Pollutant
(2) Bioparcy
(3) Bioinformatics
(4) Biomagnification
The act to control environmental pollution is passed by Government of India is
(1) Environment Pollution Act-1981
(2) Environment Pollution Act-1986
(3) Environment Protection Act-1986
(4) Environment Protection Act-1981
Environment Protection Act protects and improves the quality of
(1) Air
(2) Water
(3) Soil
(4) All of these
According to CPCB, what particulate size is most harmful to humans:
1. more than 10 micrometers
2. between 5 to 10 micrometers
3. between 2.5 to 5 micrometers
4. less than 2.5 micrometers
The most effective device to remove particulate matter from polluted air is:
1. electrostatic precipitator
2. cyclonic separator
3. trajectory separator
4. scrubber
A scrubber in the exhaust of a chemical industrial plant removes
1. Gases like sulphur dioxide
2. Particulate matter of the size 5 micrometer or above
3. Gases like ozone and methane
4. Particulate matter of the size 2.5 micrometer or less
Identify 1., 2., 3. and 4. in the diagram
1. 1.–Dirty air; 2.– Water/lime spray ; 3.– Clean air; 4. – Particulate matter
2. 1.–Clean air; 2.– Water/lime spray ; 3.– Particulate matter; 4. – Dirty air
3. 1.–Water/lime spray; 2.– Particulate matter; 3.– Clean air; 4. – Dirty air
4. 1.–Particulate matter; 2.– Dirty air ; 3.– Clean air; 4. – Water/lime spray
Which is incorrect about electrostatic precipitator (ESP)?
1. Corona produces electrons
2. Collecting plates are grounded, so use to attract the charged dust particle
3. Velocity of air between the plates must be low
4. Electrode wires that are maintained at several thousand volts produces corona
Harmful effects of Air pollutants depend upon
(1) Organism exposed
(2) Duration of exposure
(3) Concentration of pollutants
(4) All of these
