(b) Photolysis of HOCl gives reactive chlorine radicals, which break down ozone in the stratosphere (iii) Ozone depletion.

(c) H2SO4 in acid rain corrodes marble (CaCO3) of buildings and monuments (i) Acid rain.

(d) Photolysis of NO2 gives O atoms that form ozone and start the reactions of photochemical smog (ii) Smog.
