Which of the following is not a gaseous air pollutant? A. Oxides of nitrogen B. Hydrocarbon C. Smoke D. Oxides of sulphur

Oxides of nitrogen
Hydrocarbon
Smoke
Oxides of sulphur

The correct answer is C. Smoke.

Smoke is a solid particulate matter that is formed when organic materials are burned. It is a mixture of carbon, soot, and other particles that can be harmful to human health.

Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC) are

both gaseous air pollutants. NOx are formed when fossil fuels are burned, and HC are released from vehicles and other sources. Both NOx and HC can contribute to smog and acid rain.

Oxides of sulfur (SOx) are also gaseous air pollutants. They are formed when sulfur-containing fuels are burned, such as coal and oil. SOx can contribute to acid rain and smog.

Therefore, the only option that is not a gaseous air pollutant is C. Smoke.
