उत्तर
| Column I | Column II |
| (i) Oxides of sulphur | (d) Respiratory diseases |
| (ii) Nitrogen dioxide | (e) Red haze in traffic and congested areas |
| (iii) Carbon dioxide | (a) Global warming |
| (iv) Nitrate in drinking water | (c) ‘Blue baby’ syndrome |
| (v) Lead | (b) Damage to kidney |
Explanation:
(i) Low concentration of sulphur dioxide causes respiratory disease, e.g., asthma, bronchitis etc.
(ii) The irritant red haze in traffic and congested places is due to oxides of nitrogen.
(iii) The increased amount of CO2 in air is mainly responsible for global warming.
(iv) Excess’nitrate in drinking water cause methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome)
(v) Lead can damage kidney, liver, reproductive system etc.
