(B)Arsenic
(C)Hydrogen Sulphides
(D)Sulphur
Solution
Air contamination consists of airborne chemicals or pollutants that can affect human, animal, and plant health. It destroys buildings as well.
Complete answer:
Pollutants take various forms in the air. Global warming is an environmental phenomenon caused by natural and anthropogenic air emissions. It may be gases, solid particles, or liquid droplets. It applies to the world's rising air and ocean temperatures.
This rise in temperature is caused at least in part by an increase in the volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In the Earth's atmosphere, greenhouse gases capture radiant energy. The greenhouse gas that has had the largest effect on global warming is carbon dioxide. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. To power vehicles and aircraft, heat houses, and run factories, humans have come to depend on fossil fuels. It pollutes the environment with carbon dioxide by doing these things. Highly poisonous and easily flammable gas is hydrogen sulphide.
Inhalation and skin or eye touch provide the routes of exposure to it. The burning pain in the respiratory tract, including the throat, is caused by inhalation. When a person is exposed to an acute concentration of hydrogen sulphide, nausea, fever, delirium, skin and eye inflammation (keratoconjunctivitis) occur.
Hence the correct answer is option(C)
Note: Methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases are all found with other greenhouse gases released from natural and artificial sources. Significant pollution from power plants and agriculture activities is methane. Widespread pollution from industrial factories, agriculture, and the combustion of fossil fuels in automobiles is nitrous oxide. Fluorinated gases are emitted from industry, such as hydrofluorocarbons. Instead of gases, such as chlorofluorocarbons ( CFCs), fluorinated gases are also used. In certain areas, CFCs have been outlawed because they deplete the ozone layer.
