Question:

Match the following pollutant concentration limits in water with their effects:
List-I (Pollutant Concentration Limit in Water)List-II (Effect)
Pollutant 1Effect 1
Pollutant 2Effect 2
Pollutant 3Effect 3
Pollutant 4Effect 4

Show Hint

Water pollutants cause specific health effects based on toxicity levels. Excess fluoride leads to dental fluorosis, while nitrate contamination affects oxygen transport in infants.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Effects of Pollutants - Lead (Pb>50 ppb): Liver damage, as lead toxicity affects major organs. - Sulfate (\( SO_4^{2-}>500 \) ppm): Laxative effect, leading to digestive disturbances. - Nitrate (\( NO_3^->50 \) ppm): Causes 'Blue baby' syndrome, where oxygen transport in infants is impaired. - Fluoride (\( F^->2 \) ppm): Leads to brown mottling of teeth (dental fluorosis). Conclusion Thus, the correct answer is: \[ A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I \]
