The nitrogen and phosphorus content of sewage sludge is high, whereas the potassium content is low. The average nitrogen, as N, content of 6000 sewage sludge samples was 38.4 g/kg-SS (range 0.1–246.0); phosphorus, as P2O5, was 36.5 (range 0.2–344.0); potassium, as K2O, was 4.2 (range 0.1–95.0); magnesium, as MgO, was 9.7 (range 0.1–122.0); and calcium, as CaO, was 73.7 (range 0.1–727.0) by (Kopp and Dichtl, 2001).

3. Dissolved oxygen (DO), an important parameter of water quality, is essential for survival of:

1. Humans
2. Animals
3. Fish
4. Crops and vegetables
घुलित ऑक्सीजन (डीओ), पानी की गुणवत्ता का एक महत्वपूर्ण पैरामीटर, किसके अस्तित्व के लिए आवश्यक है:

SHOW ANSWER

Answer 3
Explanation: One of the most important markers of water quality is dissolved oxygen (DO). It is necessary for fish and other aquatic species to survive. The aerating effect of winds generates oxygen to dissolve in surface water. Aquatic plant respiration releases in water as a byproduct. Fish and other aquatic species cannot survive when dissolved oxygen levels fall too low.

6. Assertion A: Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) need to be phased out to protect the ozone layer.
Reason R: HFCs have a high global warming potential.

1. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
3. A is correct but is not correct.
4. A is not correct but R is correct.
अभिकथन A: ओजोन परत की रक्षा के लिए हाइड्रोफ्लोरोकार्बन (HFC) को चरणबद्ध तरीके से समाप्त करने की आवश्यकता है।
कारण आर: एचएफसी में उच्च ग्लोबल वार्मिंग क्षमता है।

SHOW ANSWER

Answer 4
Explanation: Firstly, the goal is to phase out CFCs and HCFCs as halogenated paraffin hydrocarbon gases.
HFCs were designed to replace CFCs and HCFCs, but they also collect and retain infrared radiation or heat in the earth’s lower atmosphere.
Following the phase-out of CFCs and HCFCs, HFCs are the next priority.
200 countries who signed the original Montreal Protocol agreed unequivocally that the climate hazards presented by HFCs are too great to ignore. HFCs will be phased out in developed countries starting in 2019. Between 2024 and 2028, developing countries will follow similarly.

SHOW ANSWER

Answer 1
Explanation: A solar pond is a solar energy collector that resembles a pond and is typically rather large in size. This form of solar energy collector uses a huge, saline lake as a flat plate collector, absorbing and storing solar energy in the pond’s warm, bottom layers. These ponds can be natural or man-made, although the vast majority of solar ponds in use today are man-made.
