102. The effective height of the chimney is equal to
- Height of the chimney + plume rise
- Height of the chimney + plume rise + thermal rise
- Height of the chimney + plume rise + pressure rise
- Height of the chimney – plume rise
103. In a Gaussian Dispersion Model, the lateral dispersion coefficients are dependent on
- Surface roughness
- Atmospheric stability
- Downwind distance
- Both Atmospheric stability and Downwind distance
104. Which one of the following procedures is used for sampling of the flue gas in a chimney for Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM)?
- Isothermal sampling
- Isokinetic sampling
- Adiabatic sampling
- Differential sampling
105. The main reasons of the sick building syndrome focusing the Indoor Air Quality in buildings is
- inadequate ventilation
- contamination from inside the buildings
- contamination from outside buildings
- microbial contamination

- 78 μg/m3
- 140 μg/m3
- 250 μg/m3

107. Peroxy-acetyl-nitrate is formed due
- the interaction of lead and nitrites
- the interaction of carbon monoxide and sulphates
- interactions of hydrocarbons and oxidants like SO2 under influence of sunlight
- the interaction of carbon dioxide and water
108. Presence of SO2 and moisture

- will lead to global warming in atmosphere
- will slow down the corrosion mechanism on metallic surface
- will accelerate corrosion of metallic surface
109. When the environmental lapse rate is less then dry adiabatic lapse rate, the rising particle becomes cooler and denser than its surroundings and tends to fall back to its original position. This lapse rate is called
- Super adiabatic Lapse rate
- Sub adiabatic Lapse rate
- Dry adiabatic Lapse rate
- Adiabatic Lapse rate
