7 M
1 (b) Enlist the different meteorological parameters affecting the dispersion of air pollutants in the atmosphere. Explain any two of them in detail.
7 M

2 (a) Explain with illustration the probable relation between 'Asthma and Air Pollution.'
7 M
2 (b) Mention various pollutants emitted from an automobile. How the pollutant concentration varies according to change in air ?fuel ratio.
7 M
2 (c) Write a short note on 'Economic Effects of Air Pollution'.
7 M

3 (a) Explain in brief different methods used for analysis of SO2 .
7 M
3 (b) A factory uses 3,00,000 liters of furnace oil (specific density 0.97) per month. If for one million litres of oil used per year, the particulate matter emitted is 3.0 tonnes per year, SO2 emission is 58.3 tonnes per year, NOx emission is 7.0 tonnes per year, HC emission is 0.37 tonnes per year, and CO emission is 0.5 tonnes per year. Calculate the height of chimney required to be provided for safe dispersion of the pollutant.
7 M
3 (c) Describe with neat sketch, how different atmospheric condition give rise to different kind of plume.
