Question

There can be two kinds of pollutants that are normally found in the air: (1) Particulate contaminants and (2) Gaseous contaminants.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Particulate pollution is pollution of an environment that consists of particles suspended in some medium. Some particles are released directly from a specific source, while others form in chemical reactions in the atmosphere.

Pollutants like carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO₂), nitrous oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) are collectively called gaseous contaminants.
