  1. Micro-organisms

  2. Green vegetation of an area

  3. Food crop

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Atmospheric pollutants have a negative effect on the plants; they can have direct toxic effects, or indirectly by changing soil pH followed by solubilization of toxic salts of metals like aluminium. The particulate matters have a negative mechanical effect. They cover the leaf blade reducing light penetration and blocking the opening of stomata. These influence strongly the process of photosynthesis whose rate declines sharply. Also, the leaves of the trees have an important role in the retention of the particulate matters; they are mostly affected when the wet and dry atmospheric deposition increase.

So, the correct answer is option B.

  1. SO$ _2$

  2. CO

  3. Fly ash

  4. Hydrocarbon gas

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fly ash is produced due to the incomplete burning or combustion of the fossil fuels. The ash contains the carbon particles or flecks which are suspended in the air. The pollutants which are released from the exhaust of the motor vehicle are particulate matter, SO$ _2$, NO$ _x$, CO, etc. 

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

  1. Asbestos

  2. Eichhornia roots

  3. ABS micelle

  4. Grease

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Asbestos is widely used in shipbuilding, commercial product manufacturing, power plants, and construction. It causes air pollution. Asbestos fibers are easily inhaled because they are microscopic. Once inhaled, the fibers cling to the respiratory system, including the lining of the lungs and inner cavity tissue. Asbestos fibers are rigid hence they become lodged in the soft internal tissue of the respiratory system. They cannot be easily expelled or broken down by the body thus damaging the lungs. Thus the correct answer is option A.

Which human disease becomes aggravated by atmospheric pollution?

  1. Bronchitis

  2. Leucoderma

  3. Haemophilia

  4. Rheumatism

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Bronchitis is caused due to infection and swollening of the bronchial tubes which carries air to the lungs. It is of two types i.e., acute and chronic. The acute is of mild type and caused by virus, even by bacteria and also exposure to substances that irritate the lungs, such as tobacco smoke, dust, fumes, vapors, and air pollution.

So, the correct answer is option A.
