Answer:

Air pollution harms human health and the environment. In Europe, emissions of many air pollutants have decreased substantially over the past decades, resulting in improved air quality across the region. However, air pollutant concentrations are still too high, and air quality problems persist. A significant proportion of Europe’s population live in areas, especially cities, where exceedances of air quality standards occur: ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter (PM) pollution pose serious health risks. Several countries have exceeded one or more of their 2010 emission limits for four important air pollutants. Reducing air pollution therefore remains important.

Air pollution is a local, pan-European and hemispheric issue. Air pollutants released in one country may be transported in the atmosphere, contributing to or resulting in poor air quality elsewhere.

Particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, are now generally recognised as the three pollutants that most significantly affect human health. Long-term and peak exposures to these pollutants range in severity of impact, from impairing the respiratory system to premature death. Around 90 % of city dwellers in Europe are exposed to pollutants at concentrations higher than the air quality levels deemed harmful to health. For example, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air has been estimated to reduce life expectancy in the EU by more than eight months. Benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogenic pollutant of increasing concern, with concentrations being above the threshold set to protect human health in several urban areas, especially in central and eastern Europe.

"Air pollution is causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Large parts of the population do not live in a healthy environment, according to current standards. To get on to a sustainable path, Europe will have to be ambitious and go beyond current legislation."

The experiments by Hershey and Chase helped confirm that DNA was the hereditary material on the basis of the finding that:
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Hershey and Chase were the scientist that concluded that DNA is the genetic material which is transferred from one generation to another generation.

Before their experiment, people used to believe that protein is the genetic material.

Hershey and Chase conducted an experiment on bacteriophage where Radioactive phosphrous was transferred along with DNA in the cell.

This proved that DNA is the genetic material that transferred information from one generation to another.

<u>Answer</u>:-

It is option c:

“He build sit underneath a tree”.

Explanation:

He builds the fire under a Pine tree. Although this makes it easier for him to collect sticks to feed the flames, it ultimately proves fatal. Eventually, the snow falls onto the fire itself, extinguishing it and leaving in its place a pile of fresh ❄️ snow.
