The ultimate environmental hazard to mankind is 

  1. Air pollution

  2. Water pollution

  3. Noise pollution

  4. Nuclear pollution
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In modern times the biggest environmental threat to mankind is nuclear pollution as the effects of radiation pollution cannot be repaired or reversed. 

Other forms of pollution can be controlled and ill effects reversed but radiations affect coming generations through genetic mutations. Harmful effects of radioactive pollution were first recorded in 1909 in uranium miners as skin burns, cancers and mutations. Many plants are killed even at low level of radioactivity. Young and recently divided cells are more easily damaged. Delayed effects of radioactive pollution include tumors, cancers, mutations, genetic deformities, and shorter life span. These effects are clearly visible only in subsequent generations.

  1. Low-level radiations

  2. Intermediate level radiation

  3. High level radiation

  4. No radiations were released
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Accidental leakage in Chernobyl nuclear power plant occur in April 26, 1986. Due to this high level radiation is get leaked out which cause long term health impact eg cancer and body deformation.

So, the correct option is 'High level radiation'.

Which of the following waste is present in coolant water from atomic reactors?

  1. Solid municipal waste

  2. Low-level radioactive waste

  3. High-level radioactive waste

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A nuclear reactor coolant is used to remove heat from the nuclear reactor core and transfer it to electrical generator which produce electricity. All the nuclear power plant use water as a coolant under high pressure. water is non radioactive material so there is low level of radioactive waste in coolant. 

So, the correct option is 'Low-level radioactive wastes'.
