The prime contaminants of sewage water which act as plant nutrient are

  • Nitrates and Phosphates

  • Phosphates

  • Nitrates, DDT

  • Cadmium and DDT

Thermal wastewater

  • Eliminates or reduces the number of organisms sensitive to high temperature

  • May enhance the growth of plants and fish in extremely cold areas

  • Cause damage to the indigenous flora and fauna

  • All of these

Integrated waste water treatment means

  • By utilising only artificial processes

  • By utilising only natural processes

  • By utilising both artificial and natural processes

  • By utilising advanced and more expensive means

An example of integrated waste water treatment comes from

  • The town of Arcata along northern coast of California and biologist of Humboldt State University

  • The town of Bangalore and biologist of Humboldt State University

  • The town of New York along northern coast of California and biologist of Purdue University

  • The town of Arcata along northern coast of California and biologist Purdue University

The integrated waste water management in Arcata

  • The conventional sedimentation, filtering and chlorine treatment were performed in first stage

  • To remove dissolved heavy metal the biologist developed a series of 10 connected marshes

  • Only bacteria were seeded here in marshland

  • All of these

The second stage of integrated waste water treatment in Arcata

  • 6 Marshlands of 60 hectares

  • Appropriate plants, algae, fungi and bacteria were seeded into this marshland

  • Such arrangements actually neutralize, absorb and assimilate the pollutants

  • All of these

FOAM is

  • A citizens group called Friends of Arcata Marsh, India

  • Responsible for the upkeep and safeguarding of integrated waste water management project of Arcata

  • Comes under Government of India

  • All of these

The marshlands of integrated waste water management performs

  • Sanctuary with a high level of biodiversity in the form of fishes, animals and birds

  • Appropriate plants, algae, bacteria neutralize, absorb and assimilate the pollutants

  • Both A and B

  • Act as ecological sanitation

The EcoSan toilets are working in many areas of

  • Maharashtra
  • Sri Lanka
  • Haryana
  • All of these

Ecological sanitation is the sustainable system for handling human excreta by means of

  • Using dry composting toilets

  • Recycling human excreta into resource as a natural fertilizer

  • Both A and B

  • Using toilets which have a connection to the sewage

The dry composting toilets is not

  • Practical and cost effective approach

  • Unhygienic and efficient approach

  • Reduces the reliance on chemical Fertilizer

  • All of these

Which of the following is a substitute for open burning dumps?

  • Sanitary Landfills

  • Sanitary sinks

  • Sanitary dispose house

  • Sanitary cabinets

Which of the following is not true about sanitary landfills?

  • Not a complete solution of solid wastes in metro cities

  • Danger of seepage of the chemicals

  • Chances of polluting underground water resources

  • Has three categories on the basis of ease of degradability

Which of the following is a measure of management of solid waste?

  • Waste can be categorised into three categories- Bio-degradable, Recyclable and Non-biodegradable

  • Reduction of garbage generation is our prime goal by using milk and water in Polybags

  • Hospital waste is directly transferred to landfills or open dumps

  • All of these

Hospital waste is disposed

  • Using incinerators

  • Using landfills

  • Using scrubber

  • Using precipitator

Which of the following statement is not correct?

  • E-wastes are burried in landfills or incinerated

  • Over half of the e-wastes generated in the developed world are exported to developing countries mainly to China, India and Pakistan

  • Developing countries, recycle the waste and recover the metals like Platinum, cadmium and chromium

  • Developed countries have facilities for recycling of metals from E-waste while developing countries do it manually and expose workers to toxic substances

Ahmed Khan belongs to Bangalore and has been involved in

  • In a solution of waste water treatment

  • Solution to ever increasing problem of accumulating plastic waste

  • Organic Farming

  • Ozone protection

Polyblend

  • Polythene

  • Powdered form of Bitumen

  • Fine powder of recycled modified plastic

  • Polyester

Ahmed Khan has been involved in remedy for plastic waste. Which of the following is wrong?

  • R.V. College of Engineering and Bangalore City Corporation were also involved in the project

  • They used polyblend and bitumen

  • Raw material for creating polyblend is any plastic film waste

  • Used to construct houses in Kerala

Polyblend was used in Ahmed's technique of Remedy of plastic waste and was mixed with bitumen

  • As it increases the cementing power

  • As it enhances the bitumen’s water repellent property

  • As it makes the newly constructed road get easily dry

  • All of these

The addition of polyblend with bitumen increases the water repelling property by a factor of

  • 2

  • 3

  • 5

  • 1

Using Ahmed Khan's technique, by the year of …….., …….road has been laid in Bangalore.

  • 2000, 80 kms

  • 2002, 40 kms

  • 2009, 20 kms

  • 1995, 50 kms

Inorganic Fertilisers lead to

  • Toxicity to non target organisms

  • Toxicity to important components of the soil ecosystem

  • Eutrophication

  • All of these

Integrated organic farming

  • Integration of all technique to produce more efficient and better crops

  • Cyclical zero waste process where products of one process serve as nutrient for another process

  • Mixing of all types of crops so that one may take out the best out of it without using chemical fertilisers

  • All of these

Ramesh Chandra Dagar, A farmer of Sonipat, Haryana belongs to

  • Organic Farming

  • Integrated waste water treatment

  • Solution to solid waste

  • Chipko Movement

The Haryana Kisaan Welfare Club is established by

  • Ramesh Chandra Dagar

  • Ramesh Singh Phogat

  • Ahmed Khan

  • Students of RV college of engineering

If one is using a way of integrated organic Farming, then the need of chemical fertiliser is satiated by

  • Beehives

  • Cattle excreta

  • Cow Dung

  • More than one option

Which of the following is not a problem associated with nuclear energy?

  • Accidental leakage

  • Safe disposal of radioactive waste

  • Global warming

  • Both A and C

The accidental leakage of nuclear energy occurred in

  • Three mile Island

  • Chernobyl Incident

  • Bangalore

  • Both A and B

Nuclear waste

Find the wrong one out.

  • Lethal at high doses

  • Causes cancer at low doses

  • Should be stored in the shielded containers buried within rocks about 100m deep

  • An extremely potent pollutant
