Photochemical smog formed in congested metropolitan cities mainly consists of:
Hydrocarbons, ozone and SOx
Hydrocarbons, SO2 and CO2
Smoke, peroxyacetyl nitrate and SO2
Ozone, peroxyacetyl nitrate and NOx
D.
Ozone, peroxyacetyl nitrate and NOx
Photochemical smog is a haze in the atmosphere accompained by high levels of ozone and nitrogen oxides, caused by the action of sunlight on pollutants. It consists of ozone, oxides of nitrogens, peroxiacetyl nitrate and various hydrocarbons (i. e., NOx). These are extermely complex in nature. It is mainly formed by UV rays reaction on primary pollutant. The oxidant formed in largest concentration is ozone, which is a serious pollutant in the lower atmosphere.
The correct match of atmospheric gases is :
Nitrogen - 0.03%; Oxygen - 78.08%; Argon - 0.93%; CO2 - 20.95%

Minamata disease was caused due to the consumption of
sea food containing lot of cadmium
fish contaminated with mercury
oysters with lot of pesticide
sea food contaminated with selenium.
A lake with an inflow of domestic sewage rich in organic waste may result in
drying of the lake very soon due to algal bloom
an increased production of fish due to lot of nutrients
death of fish due to lack of oxygen
increased population of aquatic food web organisms.
Drinking of mineral water with very low level of pesticides (about 0.02 ppm) for long periods may:
produce immunity against mosquito
cause leukemia (blood cancer) in most people
cause cancer of the intestine
lead to accumulation of pesticide residues in body fat
