What is the correct increasing order of prescribed limits for the following pollutants on a 24-hour basis in residential areas by CPCB? Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
In increasing order of the prescribed 24 hour residential limits the sequence is Lead, then Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter, then Suspended Particulate Matter, then Ammonia.
Lead carries the lowest limit at about one microgram per cubic metre because it is highly toxic even in tiny amounts.
Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter has a moderate limit near a hundred micrograms per cubic metre.
Suspended Particulate Matter is allowed at a higher figure than the fine respirable fraction.
Ammonia is set at the highest of these limits, around four hundred micrograms per cubic metre.
These standards are laid down for ambient air quality across different land use zones.
