Solution
The central pollution conrol boardprescibed te BOD limit for the discharge of industrial and municipal waste water as < 10 ppm.
The central pollution conrol boardprescibed te BOD limit for the discharge of industrial and municipal waste water as < 10 ppm.
Q3. CO_2,CH_4,N_2 O and CFCs are called green house gases, because they can absorb
Solution
Green house gases are those gases, which are transparent to solar radiations but retain and partially reflect back long wave heat radiations, i.e., infra red radiations. The various green house gases are CO_2,CH_4,CFCs,N_2 O,O_3 and water vapours.Green house gases are those gases, which are transparent to solar radiations but retain and partially reflect back long wave heat radiations, i.e., infra red radiations.

Q4. Removal of forest areas to fulfill the needs of growing human population is called
Solution
Population growth possesses serious threat to the forest. The forest are the basis needs of everyday life as they provide us food, shelter and raw material for other essentialities but these forests are deforested for fulfilling the increasing demands of overpopulation like clearing of forests for agriculture, industries, urban area, etc.

Q5.The Montreal protocal refers to
Solution
Montreal protocol refers to the substances such as CFCs, (chlorofluorocarbons), methane that deplete the ozone layer.

Q6. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), particles that are responsible for causing great harm to human health are of diameter
Solution
According to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), particulates size 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter (PM 2.5) are responsible for causing the greatest harm to human health. These fine particulates can be inhaled deep into the lungs and can cause breathing and respiratory symptoms, irritation inflammations and damage to the lungs and premature deaths. Failure of testosterone secretion causes eunuchoidism

Q9.SO_2 pollution is indicated by
Solution
Lichens (Usnea) are the indicator of air pollution, as these are very sensitive to air pollution (particularly SO_2pollution).

Q10. The ultraviolet radiations in the stratosphere are absorbed by
Solution
Ozone layer is confined to the stratosphere. It is formed when sunlight reacts with O_2molecules. The ozone protects the earth from harmful UV-rays by absorbing them.
