UPSC Previous Year Questions

Prelims (2019)

Q. Why is there a great concern about the ‘microbeads’ that are released into environment? 

(a) They are considered harmful to marine ecosystems.
(b) They are considered to cause skin cancer in children.
(c) They are small enough to be absorbed by crop plants in irrigated fields.
(d) They are often found to be used as food adulterants.

Ans: (a)

  • Microbeads are small, solid, manufactured plastic particles that are less than 5mm and do not degrade or dissolve in water.
  • Mainly made of polyethylene, microbeads can also be prepared from petrochemical plastics such as polystyrene and polypropylene. They may be added to a range of products, including rinse-off cosmetics, personal care and cleaning products.
  • Because of their small size, microbeads pass unfiltered through the sewage treatment system and reach the water bodies. The untreated microbeads in the waterbodies are taken up by the marine animals, thus producing toxicity and causing harm to the marine ecosystem.
  • In 2014, Netherland became the first country to ban cosmetics microbeads.

Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.

A protoplanetary Disk


In News: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has observed that a young star's protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula is experiencing significant annual losses of hydrogen.

About Protoplanetary Disk

  • A protoplanetary disk is a celestial structure composed of gas (99% by mass) and dust (1%), encircling a newly formed star, with the potential to give rise to planets.
  • These disks, ranging in mass from 0.001 to 0.3 Solar masses and in size from several tens to almost 1,000 Astronomical Units, are common outcomes of the star formation process.
  • Stars originate from cold interstellar molecular clouds, wherein the primary component is hydrogen (H2), and as these clouds collapse into protostars due to gravity, a rotating disk forms from the remaining matter.
  • Once the star completes its accretion phase, the residual disk remains in orbit around it, containing gas, dust, and organic molecules from the original molecular cloud.
  • The chemical composition of the protoplanetary disk plays a pivotal role in determining the makeup of the future planets emerging from it.
  • Typically, protoplanetary disks disperse within 2–3 million years due to processes such as matter coalescence into planets and photoevaporation induced by stellar radiation.
