The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the effects of sulfur dioxide (SO2), we will analyze each statement provided: 1. **Statement I: Sulphur dioxide causes respiratory diseases in human beings.** - Sulfur dioxide is known to irritate the respiratory system. It can lead to coughing, mucus secretion, and can exacerbate conditions such as asthma and chronic bronchitis. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement II: Sulphur dioxide causes red haze in the traffic.** - The red haze in traffic is primarily caused by nitrogen dioxide (NO2), not sulfur dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide is a reddish-brown gas that contributes to the brown haze often seen in urban areas. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Statement III: Sulphur dioxide causes irritation of the eyes.** - Sulfur dioxide is a known irritant to the eyes, causing discomfort and irritation upon exposure. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. Now, let's summarize the findings: - Statement I is correct. - Statement II is incorrect. - Statement III is correct. Thus, the correct option includes statements I and III. ### Final Answer: The correct option is that Sulphur dioxide causes: - I. Respiratory diseases in human beings. - III. Irritation of the eyes.
