What is the primary source of particulate matter (PM) pollution in urban areas?

  1. Vehicular Emissions

  2. Industrial Activities

  3. Construction and Demolition

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

PM pollution in urban areas can originate from various sources, including vehicular emissions, industrial activities, and construction and demolition.

Which of the following is NOT a greenhouse gas?

  1. Carbon Dioxide

  2. Methane

  3. Nitrogen Dioxide

  4. Water Vapor


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Nitrogen Dioxide is not a greenhouse gas, while Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and Water Vapor are.

What is the term used to describe the process of reducing air pollution from vehicles?

  1. Emission Control

  2. Pollution Reduction

  3. Air Quality Management

  4. Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Emission Control refers to the techniques and technologies used to reduce air pollutants emitted from vehicles.

Which of the following is NOT a common air pollution control measure implemented in urban areas?

  1. Traffic Management

  2. Green Infrastructure

  3. Industrial Emission Controls

  4. Public Awareness Campaigns


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Which of the following is an example of a green infrastructure measure for air pollution control?

  1. Tree Planting

  2. Green Roofs

  3. Permeable Pavements

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tree Planting, Green Roofs, and Permeable Pavements are all examples of green infrastructure measures that can help reduce air pollution in urban areas.

What is the term used to describe the process of assessing and managing air quality in urban areas?

  1. Air Quality Monitoring

  2. Air Quality Management

  3. Air Pollution Control

  4. Emission Inventory


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Air Quality Management refers to the comprehensive approach to assessing, monitoring, and controlling air pollution in urban areas.

Which of the following is NOT a common air pollutant found in urban areas?

  1. Sulfur Dioxide

  2. Carbon Monoxide

  3. Ozone

  4. Ammonia


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ammonia is not typically considered a major air pollutant in urban areas, unlike Sulfur Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and Ozone.

What is the primary source of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution in urban areas?

  1. Vehicular Emissions

  2. Industrial Activities

  3. Power Plants

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

NO2 pollution in urban areas can originate from various sources, including vehicular emissions, industrial activities, and power plants.

Which of the following is NOT a common strategy for reducing air pollution from industrial sources?

  2. Fuel Switching

  3. Energy Efficiency Improvements

  4. Tree Planting


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tree Planting is not typically considered a strategy for reducing air pollution from industrial sources.

What is the term used to describe the process of measuring and quantifying air pollutants in the atmosphere?

  1. Air Quality Monitoring

  2. Emission Inventory

  3. Air Pollution Control

  4. Green Infrastructure


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Air Quality Monitoring refers to the process of measuring and quantifying air pollutants in the atmosphere.

Which of the following is NOT a common air pollution control measure implemented in urban areas?

  1. Traffic Management

  2. Green Infrastructure

  3. Public Awareness Campaigns

  4. Emission Trading Programs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Emission Trading Programs are typically implemented at the regional or national level, rather than in specific urban areas.

What is the primary source of ozone (O3) pollution in urban areas?

  1. Vehicular Emissions

  2. Industrial Activities

  3. Power Plants

  4. Sunlight


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
