options: true, false

1. primary air pollutants are released directly into the atmosphere, while secondary air pollutants are formed when primary pollutants react chemically with other substances;

options: true, false
15 acid rain, is a broad term that includes any form of precipitation with acidic components, such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall to the ground from the atmosphere as rain, snow, or sleath. (true or false)
option: true

Explanation:

Question 13

Pollution from a single, identifiable source (like a discharge pipe) is called point - source pollution. Non - point - source pollution comes from multiple, diffuse sources (e.g., runoff from agricultural fields). So the statement is false.

By definition, primary air pollutants are emitted directly into the atmosphere (e.g., carbon monoxide from vehicle exhausts). Secondary air pollutants are formed when primary pollutants undergo chemical reactions with other substances in the atmosphere (e.g., ozone formation from reactions of primary pollutants). So the statement is true.

Acid rain is indeed a broad term for precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, etc.) that contains acidic components such as sulfuric or nitric acid, which fall to the ground from the atmosphere. So the statement is true.

Answer:

False
