Which of the following is one of the six pollutants under Kyoto Protocol regulations? Correct Answer Perfluorocarbons

The correct answer is Perfluorocarbons.

Key Points

  • The Kyoto Protocol regulates six greenhouse gases released through human activities:
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
    • Methane (CH4)
    • Nitrous oxide (N2O)
    • Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
    • Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
    • Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)
  • Hence Perfluorocarbons is one of the six pollutants under Kyoto Protocol regulations.

Additional Information

  • Kyoto Protocol:
    • It is an international agreement that aims to manage and reduce carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gases. 
    • Kyoto Protocol is an agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, adopted in December 1997.
    • It is a legally binding treaty to reduce greenhouse emissions.
    • The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997 and entered into force in February 2005.
    • India signed the Kyoto Protocol on 26 August 2002
