The correct Answer is:
To determine when the atmosphere becomes polluted, we need to analyze the provided options one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Option 1: CO2 value of 0.03%** - The first option states that the atmosphere becomes polluted when the CO2 concentration is 0.03%. - However, the normal atmospheric CO2 level is around 0.04%. Therefore, a CO2 concentration of 0.03% does not indicate pollution. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 2. **Evaluate Option 2: BOD value of 5 ppm** - The second option refers to the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) value being 5 ppm. - A BOD value of 5 to 6 ppm is typical for clean water. Values above this indicate increasing levels of organic pollution. - Since 5 ppm is considered clean, this option does not indicate pollution. - **Conclusion**: This option is also incorrect. 3. **Evaluate Option 3: Presence of Eutrophication** - The third option discusses eutrophication, which is the enrichment of water bodies with nutrients (like nitrogen and phosphorus). - This process can lead to excessive growth of algae, which depletes oxygen in the water and disrupts aquatic ecosystems. - The disturbance caused by eutrophication can lead to a loss of biodiversity and is considered a form of pollution. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. 4. **Evaluate Option 4: Concentration of dissolved oxygen greater than 6 ppm** - The fourth option states that if the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water is greater than 6 ppm, it is not polluted. - In fact, a dissolved oxygen level below 6 ppm can inhibit fish growth, but this does not directly indicate atmospheric pollution. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion: The atmosphere becomes polluted due to the process of eutrophication, as indicated by option 3.
