Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions given below:

Toxic elements are present in the soil and dust on roads in Delhi, with the potential to cause cancer and other serious ailments, a new study has revealed.

The study was conducted in collaboration with researchers from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney.

For the study, roadside soil and dust samples were collected from 33 places in the Capital and were analysed at UNSW.

The study revealed that high levels of antimony, a chemical element, were found in the soil and dust in the Capital. Antimony exposure is touted as a potential carcinogenic risk factor.

According to Dr Manoj Pratap Singh, the principal investigator behind the study, children are at high risk of developing cancer owing to the toxic element exposure. Sharing the details, he said, “At the present rate of exposure, such toxic elements can cause over 1.8 lakh cancer cases in men, more than 2.1 lakh cancer cases in women, and over 21,000 cancer cases in children,” he added.

Dr Singh added that children have higher daily exposure to rare earth elements (REE) than adults. “Their neurodevelopment is highly susceptible to REE exposure. It is associated with a decrease in IQ level and memory loss,” he said.

The toxic elements can enter the body by ingestion or swallowing soil and dust particles, which is common among children, he explained.

“This study revealed that children from Delhi are experiencing an intake of over one milligram of toxic and non-toxic metals every day through roadside soil and dust, which can cause dangerous diseases in the long term,” he added.

“The toxic levels of its chemical element may enter the human body via a dermal route and cause various diseases, including diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus,” he said.

Inhalation of dust can also be a pathway for the toxic elements to enter the body.

On why Delhi roads have high antimony content, Dr Singh explained that the frequent use of brakes (friction of brake pads) in vehicles can cause the toxic chemical element to be released in the environment in the form of fine particles.

Research has also revealed that burning fossil fuels on a large scale in the city also contributes to the accumulation of toxic elements. The presence of the dangerous metal lead has also been confirmed in the study.

He added that Cerium (Ce) content was found to be the highest in roadside soil and road dust among the REEs, analysed for the study. A Ce compound is used in catalytic converters of vehicles for the complete combustion of fuel, and is emitted from exhaust in the form of fine particles.

Under this study, two research papers have been published in the Hygiene and Environmental Health Advances journal and the Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances. In the second research paper titled “Comprehensive Chemical Profiling of Roadside Soil and Road Dust of Delhi, India: Estimation of Health Risk and City Fuel Consumption” published in “Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances”, the presence of a total of 44 elements was analysed, including 16 REEs.

Detailing the specifics of the study, he said, “Fifteen elements in the present study were identified from a priority list of the upper 275 toxic substances based on various parameters, including toxicity for human exposure. These fifteen elements, with their toxicity ranking in bracket, are: – arsenic (1), lead (2), cadmium (7), chromium VI (17), beryllium (43), nickel (57), zinc (75), chromium (78), uranium (97), copper (118), barium (134), manganese (140), selenium (146), aluminum (183) and vanadium (200),” he said.

31. Why are children more vulnerable to toxic element exposure from Delhi’s roadside dust?

Ⓐ They are closer to the ground while walking

Ⓑ They have a stronger immune system

Ⓒ They have more outdoor activities

Ⓓ They are more likely to ingest dust and are neurodevelopmentally susceptible

32. Assertion (A): Cerium content was found highest in Delhi’s roadside dust among REEs.

Reason (R): Cerium is used in catalytic converters and emitted via exhaust.

Choose the correct option:

Ⓐ Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Ⓑ Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Ⓒ A is true, but R is false.

Ⓓ A is false, but R is true.

33. The study warns that toxic soil and dust can cause a high number of cancer cases in Delhi because —

Ⓐ the city has a humid climate

Ⓑ ingestion and inhalation of toxic elements is frequent

Ⓒ children go to school daily

Ⓓ Delhi has less green cover

34. Choose the correct sequence of True (T) or False (F):

(i) Antimony can be released by the friction of brake pads.

(ii) The study was conducted only in Australia.

(iii) Children may suffer memory loss due to REE exposure.

(iv) Aluminum and Zinc are not found in Delhi’s road dust.

Options:

Ⓐ T, F, T, F

Ⓑ T, T, F, F

Ⓒ F, F, T, T

Ⓓ T, F, F, T

35. Which one of the following statements is correct according to the passage?

Ⓐ All toxic elements in the study were non-carcinogenic

Ⓑ Lead was not found in the road dust of Delhi

Ⓒ Cerium is emitted from vehicle exhaust as fine particles

Ⓓ Delhi has the cleanest roadside air according to the study

36. Dr Singh said, “Children have higher daily exposure to rare earth elements.” (Change into indirect speech)

Ⓐ Dr Singh said children had higher daily exposure to rare earth elements.

Ⓑ Dr Singh said children have high daily exposure to rare earth elements.

Ⓒ Dr Singh said that children will have high exposure to REEs.

Ⓓ Dr Singh says that children had higher daily exposure.

37. The friction of brake pads releases toxic particles. These pollute Delhi’s roads. (Combine into one sentence)

Ⓐ The friction of brake pads releasing toxic particles polluting Delhi’s roads.

Ⓑ Brake pad friction releases toxic particles and pollutes Delhi’s roads.

Ⓒ Toxic particles released by brake pad friction pollute Delhi’s roads.

Ⓓ As brake pads friction, they release particles polluting Delhi.

38. Choose the grammatically correct sentence from the following:

Ⓐ The study were published in two journal.

Ⓑ This study revealed that children is more at risk.

Ⓒ Children from Delhi are experiencing a toxic intake every day.

Ⓓ The roads in Delhi was found highly toxic.

39. Choose the word similar in meaning to “intake” from the passage:
