Match the following:

List-$I$ (Pollutant concentration limit in water) List-$II$ (Effect)

$A. Pb > 50 \ ppb$ $I. \text{Liver damage}$

$B. SO_4^{2-} > 500 \ ppm$ $II. \text{Laxative effect}$

$C. NO_3^{-} > 50 \ ppm$ $III. \text{Blue baby syndrome}$

$D. F^{-} > 2 \ ppm$ $IV. \text{Brown mottling of teeth}$

The correct answer is

List-$I$ (Pollutant concentration limit in water)	List-$II$ (Effect)
$A. Pb > 50 \ ppb$	$I. \text{Liver damage}$
$B. SO_4^{2-} > 500 \ ppm$	$II. \text{Laxative effect}$
$C. NO_3^{-} > 50 \ ppm$	$III. \text{Blue baby syndrome}$
$D. F^{-} > 2 \ ppm$	$IV. \text{Brown mottling of teeth}$
