Biology Question on Environmental Issues
Major aerosol pollutant in jet plane emission is
A
sulphur dioxide
B
carbon monoxide
C
methane
D
fluorocarbon.
Answer
fluorocarbon.
Explanation
Solution
Aerosols are chlorofluoro-hydrocarbon compounds released into air with force in the form of vapour. Main source of aerosols is the emission of jet planes, where fluorocarbon are used. These chlorofloro- ; carbons depletes the ozone layer in the higher atmosphere. These CFC's have produced a hole in the ozone layer.
