Air Pollution

The excess accumulation of pollutants or undesirable alterations in the environment and its resources such as air, water, and land can be referred to as pollution. Pollution affects the components of the environment. Pollution is considered a global issue as it is showing harmful effects worldwide. Metropolitan cities are more impacted by pollution than countryside or villages.

Question

Discuss briefly the following :
(a) Greenhouse gases
(b) Catalytic converter
(c) Ultraviolet B

Expert Solution

Step 1

Air pollution is the presence of any particle or gas in the air in such a concentration which is harmful to vegetation, animals and their environment. Air pollutants that are coming directly from the pollution sources are called primary pollutants and reaction of primary pollutants give rise to secondary pollutants. Air pollution leads to ozone depletion and encounter of harmful UV radiations

C.B. van Niel is famous for his discoveries regarding photosynthesis in sulfur bacteria. Which of the following statements is true of his experiments? a. Van Niel found that oxygen created by plants is derived from water, not carbon dioxide b. He found that sulfur bacteria do not use light, but instead use hydrogen sulfide as a source of energy for producing sugars. c. Sulfur bacteria used water to produce hydrogen sulfide d. From his observations, he reasoned that all producers require a hydrogen source, but that source can vary. e. Both a) and d)
In 1941, biologists exposed photosynthesizing cells to water containing a heavy oxygen isotope, designated 180.
