Sample Micronutrients and Water MCQs with answers
Sample MCQ #1
During a community medicine demonstration, medical students are instructed to perform the Nalgonda technique. Each student is asked to bring two material bags from the set shown below: Bag A - Alum Bag B - Gypsum Bag C - Charcoal Bag D - Lime Which combination of bags is required to perform the Nalgonda technique correctly?
AA and D
BB and C
CA and B
DC and D
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: A. A and D
Explanation: These are the two materials - alum and lime - required for the Nalgonda technique as described in standard public health practice. It is a chemical method developed by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur, for defluoridating drinking water. The technique is used to reduce excessive fluoride in water supplies, especially in areas affected by endemic fluorosis . Materials Used: The process specifically involves the use of two key chemicals : Alum (aluminium sulfate) Lime (calcium hydroxide) The technique involves the addition of alum and lime in sequence , followed by: Flocculation (formation of clumps) Sedimentation (settling of impurities) Filtration (to obtain clean water)
