Which of the following is used to measure and monitor air pollution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
LIDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, sends laser pulses into the atmosphere and analyses the backscatter to profile aerosols and gaseous pollutants. RADAR uses radio waves for objects and precipitation, SONAR uses sound in water, and SODAR mainly profiles wind and boundary-layer structure. LIDAR is therefore the tool used for air pollution measurement.
