A carbon footprint is "the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization‚ event or product" [1]. For simplicity of reporting‚ it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide‚ or its equivalent of other GHGs‚ emitted. The concept name of the carbon footprint originates from ecological footprint discussion.[2] The carbon footprint is a subset of the ecological footprint and of the more comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). An individual‚ nation‚ or organization’s

Carbon Footprint Over the next twenty to two hundred years‚ sixty-five to eighty percent of carbon dioxide will be observed into the ocean. This results in affecting the earth over thousands of years after (Carbon Dioxide). Along with this in twenty-twelve‚ eighty-two percent of carbon dioxide was produced from human activities (Calculator). This results in not only harming the world for the next thousand of years‚ but also affects the air we breathe in everyday. In addition‚ the United States average

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Carbon Credits are gaining momentum not only around the world but also in India. The Concept of Carbon Credits evolved as a step to mitigate the rising Global Warming on earth. The emission of greenhouse gases by industries and anthropogenic activities has caused irreparable damage to the atmosphere leading to rising global temperature‚ affecting human life and causing Global Warming. The Concept of Carbon Credits was therefore evolved by way of an agreement by different countries

are stimulated and illness. The atmosphere chemical contaminants cause acute poisoning and chronic poisoning. Sometimes‚ factory had leaked and outflow a large amounts of harmful gas as photochemical smog in the production process. For example: carbon monoxide will make us feel headache and fatigue and it also will cause severe hypoxia symptoms that gas poisoning. All of the harmful chemicals has already inhaled by us would lead us coughing‚ sneezing and breathing difficulties. This situation also will

Activated Carbon Activated Carbon is the best general use adsorbent to remove/reduce a lot of organic and some inorganic contaminants found in different liquid and gas products. Activated carbon has the unique ability to adsorb a wide range of compounds from both the liquid and gas phase. This adsorptive feature is responsible for removing contaminants from water and other substances where the adsorbent material is added. Activated Carbon features a highly crystalline form with a wide surface

THE CARBON CYCLE According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”)‚ the increase in anthropogenic CO2 emissions has led to the increase in global temperatures in the past century . Because of the preponderance of evidence linking greenhouse gases and climate change‚ governments worldwide are developing policy to reduce CO2 emissions. CO2 can enter the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels‚ in manufacturing processes‚ and other energy-reliant activities. However‚ not all emitted

Carbon Dioxide from Cars U.S. states are beginning to attack another major source of global warming pollution besides power plants: your car. David Biello reports Cars in California offer a new kind of sticker shock this year: carbon. In addition to the familiar smog ratings‚ labels on new Cali cars rank them 1 to 10 based on greenhouse gas emissions. The best‚ a perfect 10‚ will emit less than 200 grams of greenhouse gases per mile. The bad ones more than 520. Vermont will also begin offering

A carbon footprint is a way to measure the impact that we have on the environment. The carbon footprint relates to the amount of greenhouse gases that are produced through burning fossil fuels for electricity‚ heating‚ and transportation. There are two sections to the carbon footprint: primary footprint and secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of the emissions of CO2 that we have control over such as the burning of fossil fuels in furnaces and water heaters‚ and for transportation
