Match List-l with List-lI and select the correct answer using the code...
Carbon monoxide affect human aerobic metabolism by forming carboxy-haemogiobin (CoHb).
Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) includes - nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrous Oxide (N2O), nitrogen sesquioxide (N2O3), Nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) and nitrogen pentoxide (N2O5). NO and NO2 are of primary concern as air pollutants. NO2 plays major role in the production of secondary air pollutant ozone (O3).
SO2 is responsible for acid rains as it combines with water vapour to form secondary pollutants like H2SO4 which cause acidity.

Match List-l with List-lI and select the correct answer using the code...
List-I contains the names of different pollutants, while List-II contains the corresponding effects or consequences of these pollutants. We need to match the pollutants with their respective effects.
Let's analyze each option one by one:
Option (a) 3 2 1 4:
According to this option, the pollutants in List-I are matched with the following effects in List-II:
- CO2 (List-I) is matched with Acid rains (List-II)
- CO (List-I) is matched with Greenhouse effect (List-II)
- SO2 (List-I) is matched with Acute toxicity (List-II)
- NOx (List-I) is matched with Ozone liberation at ground level (List-II)
However, this matching is incorrect as it does not align with the actual effects of these pollutants. CO2 is primarily associated with the greenhouse effect, not acid rains. Similarly, CO is not linked to the greenhouse effect, but rather to acute toxicity. Therefore, option (a) is incorrect.
Option (b) 2 3 4 1:
According to this option, the pollutants in List-I are matched with the following effects in List-II:
- CO2 (List-I) is matched with Greenhouse effect (List-II)
- CO (List-I) is matched with Acid rains (List-II)
- SO2 (List-I) is matched with Ozone liberation at ground level (List-II)
- NOx (List-I) is matched with Acute toxicity (List-II)
This matching is also incorrect as it does not align with the actual effects of these pollutants. CO2 is indeed associated with the greenhouse effect, but CO is not linked to acid rains. Therefore, option (b) is incorrect.
Option (c) 3 1 2 4:
According to this option, the pollutants in List-I are matched with the following effects in List-II:
- CO2 (List-I) is matched with Acute toxicity (List-II)
- CO (List-I) is matched with Greenhouse effect (List-II)
- SO2 (List-I) is matched with Acid rains (List-II)
- NOx (List-I) is matched with Ozone liberation at ground level (List-II)
This matching is correct as it aligns with the actual effects of these pollutants. CO2 is indeed associated with acute toxicity, CO with the greenhouse effect, SO2 with acid rains, and NOx with ozone liberation at ground level. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.
Option (d) 4 1 2 3:
According to this option, the pollutants in List-I are matched with the following effects in List-II:
- CO2 (List-I) is matched with Ozone liberation at ground level (List-II)
- CO (List-I) is matched with Acute toxicity (List-II)
- SO2 (List-I) is matched with Greenhouse effect (List-II)
- NOx (List-I) is matched with Acid rains (List-II)
This matching is incorrect as it does not align with the actual effects of these pollutants. CO2 is not linked to ozone liberation at ground level, but rather to the greenhouse effect. Similarly, CO is not associated with acute toxicity, but rather with the greenhouse effect. Therefore, option (d) is incorrect.
In conclusion, the correct matching of the pollutants in List-I with their respective effects in List-II is option (c)
