(b) | Photochemical smog, damage to plant life, corrosion to building material, induce breathing problems, water pollution |
| (v) | Using chlorofluorocarbon compounds for cleaning computer parts |
(c) | Damaging ozone laye |
Explanation:
(i) Sulphur dioxide causes classical smog, acid rain, water pollution, induces breathing problems, causes damage to buildings, corrosion of metals.
(ii) Using carbamates as pesticides can cause nerve diseases in humans
(iii) Using synthetic detergents for washing clothes causes water pollution.
(iv) Unsaturated hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides produced by automobiles and factories cause photochemical smog, damage to plant life, corrosion to building material, induce breathing problems, water pollution.
(v) Chlorofluorocarbons are believed to be the main reason for ozone layer depletion.
