Match the activity given in Column I with the type of pollution created by it given in Column II.

(i) Releasing gases to the atmosphere after burning waste material containing sulphur - (e) Classical smog,acidrain, water pollutioncleaning computer parts induce problems, damage tobuildings, corrosion of metals.

Explanation: Releasing gases to the atmosphere produced by automobiles and factories may cause classical smog, acid rain and induce problems, damage to buildings and corrosion of metals. Classical smog is one of the pollutants which occurs in cool and humid climate. It is of reducing in nature.


(ii) Using carbamates as pesticides - (d) May cause nerve diseases in human.


Explanation:Carbamates and organo-phosphates are bio-degradable products and less persistent. These chemicals are severe nerve toxins and hence more harmful to humans and could lead to death.


(iii) Using synthetic detergents for layer washing clothes - (a) Water pollution


Explanation:Use of synthetic detergents for washing clothes may lead to water pollution and depletion of fresh water.


(iv)Releasing gases produced byautomobiles and factoriesin the atmosphere - (b) Photochemical smog, damageto plant life, corrosion to building material, induce breathing problems, water pollution


Explanation: Photochemical smog occurs in warm, dry sunny climate. The main components of the photochemical smog result from the action of sunlight on unsaturated hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides produced by automobiles and factories. It has high concentration of oxidising agents and damage plant life. It also causes corrosion of metals, stones, building materials, rubber and painted surfaces. It is of oxidising in nature and occurs in dry and sunny climate.


(v) Using chlorofluorocarbon compounds - (c) Damaging ozone layer


Explanation:The main reason for ozone layer depletion is due to the release of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), also commonly referred to as freons. These compounds are non-reactive, non-flammable, non-toxic organic molecules and therefore, used in refrigerators, air conditioners and for cleaning computer parts.
