What to Focus On

  • Pollution is the addition of harmful contaminants or energy to the environment.
  • Monitoring helps study pollutant levels, trends, and control effectiveness.
  • Primary pollutants enter the atmosphere directly.
  • Air pollution harms humans, crops, animals, and built structures.
  • Primary pollutants are emitted directly from sources.
  • Secondary pollutants are formed by reactions in air.
  • CPCB is the apex pollution-control body.
  • CPCB was established in 1974 under the Water Act.
  • CPCB later received powers under the Air Act, 1981.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ground level ozone is a primary pollutant because ozone is present in air.

CPCB was established under the Air Act, 1981.

BOD and COD measure the same thing, so either one can be used without difference.
