The Environmental Impact of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ a chemical made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms‚ is a non-flammable‚ odorless and colorless gas that exists naturally in the atmosphere. CO2 is one of the greenhouse gases‚ amongst methane‚ nitrous oxide and other gases‚ which keeps the Earth’s temperature habitable (UCAR). Without it‚ the Earth will be inhospitably cold. However‚ ever since the mid-nineteenths century‚ humans have significantly increased the amount

Deforestation The “Slashing and burning” of rainforests has to stop. The deforestation of our rainforests is effecting our environment and us more than you may think. We get the oxygen we need from trees‚ forests protect us from Carbon Dioxide‚ and forests protect most of Earth’s plants and animals. We need trees to breathe and rainforests to protect us from harsh things that we emit from our bodies. Many rainforests help and protect us. “More than 20% of the world’s oxygen comes from the Amazon”

Distinguish between a carbon-tax and a cap-and-trade strategy for reducing carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases (that are believed by many scientists to be causing global warming). According to the case‚ the carbon-tax and a cap-and-trade system are the best economic tool to employ to reduce emissions. As we know‚ taxes are the most important expense for a company or firm‚ if they would emit much more carbon dioxide and other gases‚ they need to pay more taxes on using carbon recourses. It

Carbon is one of the most essential elements in life. Carbon makes up the building block of all living things including proteins‚ lipids‚ nucleic acid and carbohydrates. Carbon also can be found abundantly distributed in a nonliving environment‚ in the atmosphere as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ natural gas‚ dead organic matter and coal in the ground. Carbon is cycled and maintained a stable concentration in the through the earth’s lithosphere‚ atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ antrosphere and biosphere undergoing

Carbon Credit Accounting – Opportunities and Challenges Abstract The Ninth Conference of the Parties (COP‐9) decided to adopt an accounting system based on expiring carbon credits to address the problem of non‐permanent carbon storage in forests established under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This article reviews and discusses carbon accounting challenges and opportunities. As the issues for accounting of CER credits is new and it is on elementary stage‚ it will generate a fair amount

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer Name Institutional analysis Introduction Carbon Fibre reinforced polymer commonly known as CFRP is a very strong composite material that is majorly preferred for many automotive and aeronautical application due to the fact that despite their strength that still light that the traditional metallic materials. The polymers often used to make this composite material is epoxy‚ polyester‚ vinyl and even nylon. Thus in making CFRP carbon fibre is often combined with polymers

Investigating pH Aim: To demonstrate dissolved carbon dioxide changing the ph level of substances. Materials: * 2 beakers * 2 straws * Stop watch * Distilled water * Lime water * Litmus Paper Method: 1. Pour 100ml of Distilled water into the first beaker‚ and label said beaker. 2. Pour 100ml of Lime water into the second‚ also Label beaker. 3. Test the two liquids with litmus paper and note the ph level‚ before any carbon dioxide has been introduced. 4. Place a straw
