Question:

Which of the following is a secondary pollutant?

SO2

O3

CO

CO2

Solution:

The correct option is O3. Secondary pollutants are a type of pollutant that is formed in the atmosphere. These pollutants are not emitted directly from a source, such as vehicles or power plants. When primary pollutants formed from combustion processes react in the atmosphere, secondary pollutants are formed. For example, ozone. So, the correct answer is 'O3'.
