The accidental leakage of radioactive wastes occurred in the “Three Mile Island” and “Chernobyl” respectively in:
| 1. | 1979 and 1986 | 2. | 1981 and 1988 |
| 3. | 1985 and 1991 | 4. | 1987 and 1999 |
The environmental effects of global warming include all the following except:
| 1. | Arctic sea ice decline, sea level rise, retreat of glaciers |
| 2. | Extreme weather, extreme events, tropical cyclones |
| 3. | Ocean oxygenation and increased alkalinity of ocean waters |

The common misconceptions regarding ozone depletion include:
| I. | Since CFC molecules are heavier than air (nitrogen or oxygen), the CFC molecules cannot reach the stratosphere in a significant amount. |
| II. | Natural sources of tropospheric chlorine are four to five times larger than man-made ones and are responsible for ozone depletion. |
| III. | The ozone hole should be above the sources of CFCs. |
| 1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III |

Why is carbon dioxide regarded as a greenhouse gas?
| 1. | It is involved in photosynthesis |
| 2. | It absorbs infrared radiation |
| 3. | It emits visible radiation |
| 4. | It absorbs and emits ultraviolet radiation |
The levels of carbon dioxide is consistently increasing over the last 100+ years mainly because:
| 1. | increased respiration by increasing the human population. |
| 2. | increased worldwide standing crop. |
| 3. | an increase in the amount of infrared radiation absorbed by the atmosphere. |
| 4. | the burning of larger amounts of wood and fossil fuels. |
The thawing of permafrost in many areas of the tundra biome as a result of global warming is of concern mainly because:
| 1. | it will decrease the abundance and diversity of soil-dwelling organisms in tundra habitats. |
| 2. | the bacterial decomposition of the thawed organic materials will produce large quantities of CO2, increasing global warming. |
| 3. | Oil and coal deposits will rise to the surface |
| 4. | migration of the human population will occur towards the tropics. |
The highest concentration of polycarbonated biphenyls [PCBs] in a lake is expected in:
| 1. | Small fish | 2. | Sediment |
| 3. | Phytoplankton | 4. | Zooplankton |
