Environmental Pollution Control

The document contains multiple choice questions about atmospheric conditions, air pollution dispersion modeling, and related topics. Key points addressed include: - Temperature inversion can occur when temperature increases with elevation rather than decreases. - Sulfur dioxide emissions from coal combustion depend on the sulfur content of the coal. - Indoor cigarette smoking causes micro-scale air pollution. - The wet adiabatic lapse rate is typically less than 10°C per kilometer under normal atmospheric conditions. - Conversion factors are provided to relate pollutant concentration units like μg/m3 to other units like gm/cm3.
