Sewage is treated before release mainly to reduce its ___ content:

Answer: organic pollutant.

  • A organic pollutant
  • B oxygen content
  • C mineral content
  • D water content

Correct answer: A. organic pollutant

Explanation: Treatment lowers the organic (polluting) load of sewage before discharge.

The (Enhanced) Greenhouse Effectsunlight inEarth's surfaceheat (IR) radiated backtrapped by CO₂, CH₄, etc.greenhouse gas layerMore greenhouse gases (human activity) = more heat trapped = enhanced warming

Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface; the surface re-radiates this energy as infrared heat, which greenhouse gases (CO₂, CH₄, water vapour) absorb and trap - a naturally beneficial process that intensifies into global warming as gas concentrations rise from human activity.

Concept context

Pollution, global warming, ozone depletion, deforestation, and sustainability. Important for NEET and general awareness.
