Consider the following pairs regarding Heavy Metal Toxicity:
Metals
Disease Caused
1. Mercury
Itai-itai disease
2. Cadmium
Minamata disease
3. Arsenic
Arsenicosis
Correct
Ans: A
Exp:
As many as 81 rivers and tributaries of the country have extremely high concentration of one or more trace and toxic heavy metals, the study by the Central Water Commission (CWC) indicated.
Some of the Notable Impacts and Disease Associated with the Heavy Metals are:
Mercury: High levels of mercury can have negative consequences such as nerve, brain and kidney damage, lung discomfort, eye irritation, skin rashes, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Pair 1 is Incorrectly Matched: Minamata disease is a chronic neurological disorder caused by methylmercury, a heavy metal with many industrial uses.
Cadmium: Recent research reveals that relatively little cadmium exposure might cause skeletal damage, including low bone mineral density (osteoporosis) and fractures.
Pair 2 is Incorrectly Matched: Itai-itai disease is caused by cadmium (Cd) exposure, produced as a result of human activities related to industrialisation, and this condition was first recognised in Japan in the 1960s
Arsenic: Consuming arsenic-contaminated water causes arsenical skin lesions, which are a late indication of arsenic toxicity.
Pair 3 is Correctly Matched: Arsenicosis is a chronic sickness caused by drinking water with high arsenic levels for an extended period of time.
Incorrect
Ans: A
