(a) From incinerators

(b) Emissions from vehicles

(c) Both incinerators and emissions from vehicles

(d) None of the above​

Answer 1

Answer:

option ( c) both incinerators and emissions from vehicles.

Answer 2

Answer:

Both incinerators and emissions from vehicles are responsible for the cause of SMOG.

Explanation:

• Ash and flue gas emissions into the atmosphere are just two examples of the outputs of incinerating waste.
• Prior to the installation of the flue gas cleaning system, the flue gases may contain hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, heavy metals, dioxins, and furans.
• These outputs may significantly increase the amount of pollutants in stack emissions if plants do not have proper flue gas cleaning.
• In a research from 1997, the Delaware Solid Waste Authority discovered that incineration plants released more particles, hydrocarbons, SO2, HCl, CO, and NOx than natural gas-fired power plants for the same amount of energy produced.
• Ozone, the main component of urban smog, is produced when sunlight reacts with hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, two pollutants emitted during the combustion of automotive fuel.
• Ozone may be advantageous in the high atmosphere, but it can irritate the respiratory system at ground level, leading to coughing, choking, and diminished lung capacity.
