1. Question
With reference to the usefulness of the by-products of sugar industry, which of the following statements is/are correct? [2013]
1. Bagasse can be used as biomass fuel for the generation of energy.
2. Molasses can be used as one of the feedstocks for the production of synthetic chemical fertilizers.
3. Molasses can be used for the production of ethanol.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.CorrectBagasse is often used as a primary fuel source as it produces sufficient heat energy. Molasses can be used for the production of Ethanol. Ethanol is produced by the age old technique of fermentation of cereals, grams, molasses and other materials with high starch contents. Molasses is an inexpensive and readily available raw material.
Molasses cannot be used as a synthetic fertilizer as molasses contain calcium, magnesium and Iron where as synthetic fertilizers are comprised of NPK i.e. Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium.IncorrectBagasse is often used as a primary fuel source as it produces sufficient heat energy.

2. Question
The final Agent Orange raid in Vietnam took place in 1970– areas have begun to bloom again. But 19 years after the war’s end, it seems plain that Agent Orange is killing and maiming human beings, something it never intended to do. The apparent toxic fallout from those clouds–is a crop of human miseries including cancers, miscarriages and birth defects-that may persist for decades. [1995]
The offensive substance referred to in this quotation is:CorrectAmerica used Dioxin which is defoliants to clear the forests of Vietnam, so that is could kill the Vietnamese guerilla hiding in the forest. But the Dioxin had many after effects like cancers, miscarriage, and birth defects in after years.

3. Question
Which one of the following fuels causes minimum environmental pollution? [1995]
CorrectExcept hydrogen, all the rest three options diesel, coal and kerosene are either naturally occurring fossil fuels or derived from them. Thus as we know naturally occuring fossil fuels and their products have high percentage of carbon which on combustion lead to discharge of oxides by carbon (CO2 & CO) in air. This results in to heavy environmental pollution like CO2 results in to green house effect causes global warming While CO is poisonous in nature, it combines with haemoglobin of blood to form carboxyhaemoglobin. Hydrogen fuel as such causes no pollution because on combustion with oxygen it forms water that’s why it is also called future fuel.

5. Question
The water pollution in river is measured by the dissolved amount of [1998]
CorrectWater pollution in river or any other water body is measured by amount of dissolved oxygen. Water pollution can be measured on the basis of parameters like dirtyness, change in texture, total suspended solid and other important factors like,
1. Decrease in dissolved oxygen (DO) (concentration of dissolved oxygen in water samples).
2. Increase in BOD, (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) it is a chemical procedure for determining the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms in a body of water to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period.
3. Increase in COD, (Chemical Oxygen Demand) test is commonly used to indirectly measure the amount of organic compounds in water.IncorrectWater pollution in river or any other water body is measured by amount of dissolved oxygen.

Which of the above causes/cause acid rain?CorrectAcid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, i.e. elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure through the process of wet deposition. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce corresponding sulphuric and nitric acids which falls along with rain droplets on ground.

9. Question
Excessive release of the pollutant carbon monoxide (CO) into the air may produce a condition in which oxygen supply in the human body decreases. What causes this condition? [2010]
CorrectCarbon Monoxide pollution occurs primarily from emissions produced by fossil fuel powered engines. The incomplete reaction of air with fuel produces the colourless, odourless and highly toxic gas. The main issue with Carbon Monoxide is its health effects. It is capable of binding to the chemicals in our blood, called haemoglobin. It does so far more effectively than oxygen and also stays bound to the haemoglobin for far longer than oxygen does. The effect is that the blood is starved of oxygen, which then affects the rest of the body.

Which of the above is/are the emission/emissions from coal combustion at thermal power plants?CorrectBy products of power thermal plant operation need to be considered in both the design and operation. Waste heat due to the finite efficiency of the power cycle must be released to the atmosphere, using a cooling tower, or river or lake water as a cooling medium. The gas from combustion of the fossil fuels is discharged to the air; this contains carbon dioxide and water vapour, as well as other substances such as nitrogen, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, and (in the case of coal-fired plants) fly ash, mercury and traces of other metals.
