Lead compound D. Carbon dioxide List II (Effect) 1. Acid rain 2. Depletion in ozone 3. Harmful for human nervous system 4. Topmost contribution to greenhouse effect Code : A B CD

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The matching of air pollutants to their effects is as follows: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are primarily responsible for the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) reacts with water and oxygen in the atmosphere to form acid rain [5]. Lead compounds, often emitted from vehicular and industrial sources, are heavy metals known to be harmful to the human nervous system [3]. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main greenhouse gas contributing most significantly to the greenhouse effect and global warming due to its high concentration from fossil fuel combustion [1]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-2, B-1, C-3, D-4, which corresponds to Option 3.
