Which of the following best describes the role of CFCs in atmospheric pollution?
Formation of photochemical smog
contribution to global warming and ozone depletion
generation of acid rain
Emission of greenhouse gases from industrial plants
Which of the following is a major environmental effect of acid rain?
Increase of nutrients in water bodies
depletion of the ozone layer
Damage to aquatic ecosystems by lowering pH levels
Decrease in soil saltiness
Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?
Methane
Nitrous oxide
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Which of the following contributes most to indoor air pollution in rural areas?
Use of air conditioners
Burning of biomass fuel
Release of ozone from electronic devices
Emission from vehicles

Imagine a futuristic city that uses acid rain as an energy source through novel chemical process. Which of these potential methods might be used to harness this energy ?
electrolysis of acidic water to produce hydrogen fuel
direct combustion of acid rain in power plants
solar panels converting acid rain into electricity
wind turbines driven by acid rain droplets
Acid rain can affect the conductivity of water bodies. How might this change impact aquatic ecosystems?
increase in the breeding of predatory fish
Enhanced growth of submerged plants
Disruption of electroreception in fish and amphibians
improved water clarity
How might the historical use of milestone in building construction unintentionally contribute to increased acid rain damage in modern cities?
Limestone buildings absorb pollutants and release them as acid rain
Limestone reacts with acid rain, accelerating structural decay
Limestone surfaces repel water,causing acid rain to pool
Limestone emits gases that contribute to acid rain formation
What unexpected consequence might arise
from the complete recovery of the ozone layer on global climate patterns?
increase in global temperatures due to enhanced greenhouse effect
stabilization of polar vortex and altered jet streams
decrease in sea levels due to less UV-induced water evaporation
enhanced growth of phytoplankton in the oceans
What unexpected consequence could arise from large scale tree planting initiatives aimed at mitigating atmospheric pollution?
overuse of water resources in arid regions
increased atmospheric pollution from decaying organic matter
enhancement of urban heat islands
depletion of soil nutrients affecting crop yields
How could the shift to telecommuting as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic lead to unexpected consequences for atmospheric pollution?
increased residential energy use offsetting transportation emission reactions
decrease in overall pollution levels due to fewer commutes
improved air quality in urban centers without any trade offs
Telecommuting has no impact on atmospheric pollution
