(i) (a) Carbon Monoxide:
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas produced as a result of incomplete combustion of coal are firewood. It is released into the air mainly by automobile exhaust. It binds with haemoglobin and form carboxy haemoglobin which impairs normal oxygen transport by blood and hence the oxygen carrying capacity of blood is reduced. This oxygen deficiency results in headache, dizziness, tension, Loss of consciousness, blurring of eye sight and cardiac arrest.
(b) Carbon dioxide:
Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere mainly by the process of respiration, burning of fossil fuels, forest fire, decomposition of limestone in cement industry etc.Green plants can convert CO₂ gas in the atmosphere into carbohydrate and oxygen through a process called photosynthesis. The increased CO₂ level in the atmosphere is responsible for global warming. It causes headache and nausea.

It binds with haemoglobin and form carbory haemoglobin which impairs normal oxygen transport by blood and hence the oxygen carrying capacity of blood is reduced. This oxygen deficiency results in headache, dizziness, tension, Loss of consciousness, blurring of eye sight and cardiac arrest.

It causes headache and nausea.

Standard characteristics of drinking water.

Particulate pollutants are small solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in air. Many of particulate pollutants are hazardous.
Examples : dust, pollen, smoke, soot and liquid droplets (aerosols) etc,.
They are blown into the atmosphere by volcanic eruption, blowing of dust, incomplete combustion of fossil fuels induces soot. Combustion of high ash fossil fuels creates fly ash and finishing of metals throws metallic particles into the atmosphere.
The non- viable particulates are small solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in air. They help in the transportation of viable particles. There are four types of non-viable particulates in the atmosphere. They are classified according to their nature and size as follows.
(i) Smoke : Smoke particulate consists of solid particles (or) mixture of solid and liquid particles formed by combustion of organic matter. 
For example, cigarette smoke, oil smoke, smokes from burning of fossil fuel, garbage and dry leaves.
(ii) Dust: Dust composed of fine solid particles produced during crushing and grinding of solid materials.
For example, sand from sand blasting, saw dust from wood works, cement dust from cement factories and fly ash from power generating units.
(iii) Mists : They are formed by particles of spray liquids and condensation of vapours in air.
For example, sulphuric acid mist, herbicides and insecticides sprays can form mists.
(iv) Fumes : Fumes are obtained by condensation of vapours released during sublimation, distillation, boiling and calcination and by several other chemical reactions.
For example : organic solvents, metals and metallic oxides form fume particles.

Rain water normally has a pH of 5.6 due to dissolution of atmospheric CO₂ into it. Oxides of sulphur and nitrogen in the atmosphere may be absorbed by droplets of frater that make up clouds and get chemically converted into sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively as a results of pH of rain water drops below the level 5.6, hence it is called acid rain. Acid rain is a by-product of a variety of sulphur and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) in power stations, furnaces and petrol, diesel in motor engines produce sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides The main contributors of acid rain are SO₂ and NO₂.They are converted into sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively by the reaction with oxygen and water.
2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O ⟶ 2H₂SO₄
4NO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O ⟶ 4HNO₃
Harmful effects of acid rain
Some harmful effects are discussed below :
(i) Acid rain causes extensive damage to buildings and structural materials of marbles. This attack on marble is termed as Stone leprosy.
CaCO₃ + H₂SO₄ ⟶ CaSO₄ + H₂O +CO₂ ↑
(ii) Acid rain affects plants and animal life in aquatic ecosystem.
(iii) It is harmful for agriculture, trees and plants as it dissolves and removes the nutrients needed for their growth.
(iv) It corrodes water pipes resulting in the leaching of heavy metals such as iron, lead and copper into the drinking water which have toxic effects.
(v) It causes respiratory ailment in humans and animals.
