Explain tropospheric pollution in 100 words. |
|
Answer» Solution :Troposphere pollution is generated by unwanted components present in the lowest level of atmosphere. Oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur HYDROCARBONS are the main gaseous pollutants. oxides of sulphur `(SO_2 and SO_3)` and oxide of nitrogen `(NO and NO_2)` are produced by burning of fossil fules. This oxide forms nitric ACID (HNO3) and sulphuric acid `(H_2 SO_4)` on REACTING with oxygen in atmosphere. It will be the reason of acid rain in the end. `2SO_(2(g)) + O_(2(g)) + 2H_2 O_((l)) to 2H_2 SO_(4(AQ))` `4NO_(2(g)) + O_(2(g)) + 2H_2 O_((l)) to 4HNO_(3(aq))` Acid rain is harmfull to trees and agriculture. Hydrocarbons are made of hydrogen and carbon and oxides of carbon are obtaine DFROM combusion of its. Hydrocarbons are carcinogenic and the components made of it are the main pollutants. CO is highly poisonous too. Men dies when it mixes into the blood. `CO_2` is not poisonous in nature but it performs a major role in global warming. Therefore temperature of earth is increased and ice of north and south ploes melts. Specific types of smoke, dust, mist, fumes and smog causes the dieses in humans related to respiratory system. |
