What is the primary objective of Air Quality Management?

  1. To maintain air quality within acceptable limits

  2. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions

  3. To promote sustainable energy practices

  4. To monitor air pollution levels


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary objective of Air Quality Management is to ensure that the air quality meets certain standards and is safe for human health and the environment.

Which pollutant is commonly associated with vehicle emissions?

  1. Carbon monoxide

  2. Sulfur dioxide

  3. Nitrogen dioxide

  4. Particulate matter


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels, such as those used in vehicles.

What is the term used to describe the process of removing pollutants from the air?

  1. Air purification

  2. Air filtration

  3. Air scrubbing

  4. Air remediation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Air scrubbing is a process that uses a chemical or physical method to remove pollutants from the air.

Which of the following is a major source of air pollution in urban areas?

  1. Industrial emissions

  2. Vehicle emissions

  3. Construction activities

  4. Residential heating


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Vehicle emissions are a major source of air pollution in urban areas, particularly due to the high concentration of vehicles and the release of pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter.

What is the term used to describe the maximum concentration of a pollutant in the air that is considered safe for human health?

  1. Air quality standard

  2. Emission limit

  3. Ambient air quality guideline

  4. Threshold limit value


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Air quality standards are established by regulatory agencies to define the maximum concentration of a pollutant in the air that is considered safe for human health.

Which pollutant is primarily responsible for acid rain?

  1. Sulfur dioxide

  2. Nitrogen dioxide

  3. Carbon monoxide

  4. Particulate matter


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sulfur dioxide is a major contributor to acid rain, as it reacts with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid.

What is the term used to describe the process of reducing the emission of pollutants into the air?

  1. Emission control

  2. Air pollution prevention

  3. Emission reduction

  4. Air quality improvement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Emission control refers to the strategies and technologies used to reduce the release of pollutants into the air.

Which of the following is an example of a primary air pollutant?

  1. Ozone

  2. Carbon monoxide

  3. Nitrogen dioxide

  4. Particulate matter


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Primary air pollutants are emitted directly into the atmosphere from sources such as vehicles, industries, and power plants. Carbon monoxide is a primary air pollutant.

What is the term used to describe the process of converting pollutants into less harmful substances?

  1. Air pollution control

  2. Air quality management

  3. Emission treatment

  4. Air pollution prevention


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Emission treatment involves the use of technologies and processes to convert pollutants into less harmful substances before they are released into the air.

Which of the following is a major source of air pollution in rural areas?

  1. Agricultural activities

  2. Industrial emissions

  3. Vehicle emissions

  4. Residential heating


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Agricultural activities, such as the use of fertilizers and pesticides, can contribute to air pollution in rural areas.

What is the term used to describe the process of monitoring and measuring air quality?

  1. Air quality monitoring

  2. Air pollution control

  3. Emission treatment

  4. Air quality management


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Air quality monitoring involves the collection and analysis of data to assess the levels of pollutants in the air.

Which pollutant is primarily responsible for the formation of smog?

  1. Ozone

  2. Carbon monoxide

  3. Nitrogen dioxide

  4. Particulate matter


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ozone is a major component of smog, which is a mixture of pollutants that can cause respiratory problems and other health issues.

What is the term used to describe the process of developing and implementing strategies to improve air quality?

  1. Air quality management

  2. Air pollution control

  3. Emission treatment

  4. Air quality monitoring


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Air quality management involves the development and implementation of strategies to improve air quality and reduce the levels of pollutants in the air.

Which of the following is an example of a secondary air pollutant?

  1. Ozone

  2. Carbon monoxide

  3. Nitrogen dioxide

  4. Particulate matter


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Secondary air pollutants are formed in the atmosphere through chemical reactions between primary pollutants. Ozone is a secondary air pollutant.

What is the term used to describe the process of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases?

  1. Climate change mitigation

  2. Air quality management

  3. Emission control

  4. Air pollution prevention


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Climate change mitigation refers to the strategies and actions taken to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and mitigate the effects of climate change.
