Question

Please judge which of the following statements are true;

  • Aging reduces toxicity, but not eliminate risk
  • Only clay minerals are present in the soil clay size 
  • The solubility of heavy metals always decreases with increasing pH
  • CH4 is a greenhouse gas emitted from wetlands, livestock, rice paddies and natural gas
  • CH4 is an important O3 precursor under all atmospheric conditions.
  • O3 mixing ratio usually peaks exactly at noontime.
  • O3 is a secondary pollutant resulted from the photolysis of molecular oxygen in the troposphere.
  • SO2 is an important precursor gas for PM5, acid deposition, and O3.
  • PM5 is important because of its health, environmental and climatic effects.
  • PM5 concentration always increases with increasing temperature.
Expert Solution
Step 1

1. With span of time , the content of organic compounds in the soil ,becomes less available for consumption and hence the toxic effects are reduced , but the compounds are still present and it is risk So this statement is true.

2.In soilclay size only clay minerals are present.True.

3.The solubility of heavy metals always decreases with increasing ph.True

As at lower ph the  of heavy metals are released into water than being absorbed , and hence solubility increases.
