NEETChemistryEnvironmental Chemistry
What are particulate pollutants in the atmosphere, and how can they be categorized based on viability?
Options
- AParticulate pollutants are gaseous emissions from industries and vehicles.
- BParticulate pollutants are liquid droplets only.
- CParticulate pollutants are minute solid particles or liquid droplets in the air. They can be categorized as vi
- DParticulate pollutants are classified based on their chemical composition.
Correct answer
C. Particulate pollutants are minute solid particles or liquid droplets in the air. They can be categorized as vi
Step-by-step solution
Particulate pollutants are tiny solid particles or liquid droplets suspended in the air. They can be categorized as viable (living organisms like bacteria and fungi) or non-viable based on their nature and size.
