Here are the correct responses for each question:
Question 1: A) Decibel is a measurement of the amount of pollution.
- Response: False (Decibels measure sound intensity, not pollution levels.)
Question 2: A) Non-point-source pollution can be traced to one specific source.
- Response: False (Non-point-source pollution comes from multiple sources and is not easily traced to a single source.)
Question 3: A) Point-source pollution is pollution that comes from identifiable locations.
- Response: True (Point-source pollution can be traced back to a specific identifiable source, such as a pipe or a factory.)
Question 4: A) Burning fossil fuels releases too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
- Response: True (Burning fossil fuels is a major source of carbon dioxide emissions.)
Question 5: A) Acid rain is a form of pollution.
- Response: True (Acid rain is caused by pollutants in the air and can harm the environment.)
Question 6: A) The use of many household chemicals, and even the use of outdoor barbeques, can cause toxic air pollution.
- Response: True (Many household chemicals and outdoor activities can contribute to air pollution.)
Question 7: A) Carbon monoxide poisoning in homes is an unlikely health problem.
- Response: False (Carbon monoxide poisoning can be a significant health risk, especially in poorly ventilated areas.)
Question 8: A) It is estimated that people spend 10-20% of their lives inside.
- Response: False (Typically, people spend about 80-90% of their lives indoors.)
Question 9: A) Molds and spores of fungus found in damp places, like basements or inside walls, can become toxic.
- Response: True (Certain molds can produce toxins that are harmful to health.)
Question 10: A) It’s been determined that as few as 15 decibels can cause ear damage.
- Response: False (Ear damage typically occurs at much higher sound levels, usually above 85 decibels.)
