Answer: Ozone is considered as chief polluting gas.
Explanation:
The ozone is a ground level pollutant. It is a colorless gas. It causes irritation in the eyes and respiratory tract. It is one of the components of smog as it causes pollution in the atmosphere. It is produced by the two primary pollutants that are nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds when they react with the sunlight. The ozone makes the air irrespirable. It is the main cause of throat irritation, labored breath, pain in chest and also responsible for respiratory diseases. It reduces the body's ability against infection. The ozone depleting substances like aerosol, chlorofluorocarbon are widening the ozone depleting zone as halides present in these substances react with the ozone causing depletion. This allows the entry of harmful ultraviolet radiation penetrating the atmospheric layers.
This shift decreases the water resources available in town A. for example, in the table above, the amount of water available per person dropped to 1200m3.
Natural process by which water soluble substances (such as calcium, fertilizers, pesticides) are washed out from soil or wastes. These leached out chemicals (called leachites) cause pollution of surface and sub-surface water.
