Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Q. Consider the following statements about ‘Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FED)’:
1. FGD is a set of technologies used to remove sulfur dioxide.
2. Burning of fossil fuels by power plants is/are the major source of sulfur dioxide.
3. People with asthma, particularly children, are sensitive to these effects of SO2.Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
ans.d
Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FED)
Removal of Sulfur Dioxide is called as Flue-gas Desulphurization (FGD).
It seeks to remove gaseous pollutants viz. SO2 from exhaust flue gases generated in furnaces, boilers, and other industrial processes due to thermal processing, treatment, and combustion.
Sulfur Dioxide PollutionSource
The largest source of SO2 : Burning of fossil fuels by power plants and other industrial facilities.
Smaller sources of SO2 : Industrial processes such as extracting metal from ore; natural sources such as volcanoes; and locomotives, ships and other vehicles and heavy equipment that burn fuel with a high sulfur content.Impact
Short-term exposures to SO2 can harm the human respiratory system and make breathing difficult.
People with asthma, particularly children, are sensitive to these effects of SO2.
SO2 emissions that lead to high concentrations of SO2 in the air generally also lead to the formation of other sulfur oxides (SOx). SOx can react with other compounds in the atmosphere to form small particles.
These particles contribute to particulate matter (PM) pollution.Incorrect
