Smoke is an example of:
- emulsion
- aerosol
- foam
- suspension
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
Approach Solution -2
Ans: Smoke is an aerosol.
An aerosol is the collection of tiny solid particles that are suspended in a gas. It is the colloidal suspension of the particles that are dispersed in the air or gas. For smoke, the small particles and the droplets are released into the air. These particles do not settle down, but remain suspended in the air. The component of smoke depends on the material that is being burned and also on the combustion of combustion. The particles suspended in the air, will determine the colour, opacity and also the visibility of the smoke.
Smoke has both environmental and health related issues, because of the pollutants and particulate matters

Atmospheric Pollution
- The pollution that directly harms living organisms is the atmospheric pollution, air is more essential than food when it comes to the survival of life on earth. Atmospheric pollution is, consequently, a major concern for life on the planet. The most common type of air pollution that affects much of the world is Smog (smoke + fog).
- Pollution is the outcome of undesired changes in the environment with harmful effects on plants, animals, and humans. The element that causes pollution is commonly known as pollutants.
- Pollutants may be solids, liquids, or gases that are present in large quantities in nature and produced due to human activities or natural circumstances.
- For instance, materials such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), heavy metals, chemicals, plastic materials, nuclear waste, etc., once disclosed to the environment it is difficult to remove.
Causes of Atmospheric Pollution:
There is a number of factors that contribute to the pollution of the environment. Some of the major causes of atmospheric pollution are given below -
- Industrial waste
- Usage of pesticides
- Deforestation
- Combustion of fuels
- Nuclear Explosions
- Use of Toxic Solvents
