million people are killed worldwide every year due to air pollution. So‚ it has shown us how seriously the tendency of air pollution all around the world. This environmental issue has brought us a lot of effects like greenhouse effect‚ acid rain and ozone layer depletion. One of the effects of air pollution is greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect means the phenomenon whereby carbon dioxide traps solar radiation in the earth’s atmosphere. As the heat is trapped in the atmosphere‚ the temperature is

regarding global threats such as climate change and ozone depletion. However‚ the existence of state sovereignty as well as the political and economic interests of countries remains barriers for cooperation between nations. Thus‚ highlighting the ineffectiveness of international law in its role of achieving global environmental protection. The growing awareness of global threats such as ozone depletion led to international calls for the reduction of ozone depletion pollutants‚ CFC’s and nitrate oxides

meltdown is water vapors‚ carbon dioxide‚ and methane. Carbon Dioxide‚ water vapors‚ and methane is what effects the earth’s ozone layer. These three contributors are considered greenhouse effects. Greenhouse effects builds up the temperature on earth. The ozone layer of earth keeps the high beams from the sun burning the wild life and humans. Everyday the ozone layer is slowly being uncovered.

second is methane‚ released from rice paddies‚ both ends of cows‚ rotting garbage in landfills‚ mining operations‚ and gas pipelines. Third are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and similar chemicals‚ which are also implicated in the separate problem of ozone depletion (see #5 below). Nitrous oxide (from fertilizers and other chemicals) is fourth. #2 Earth’s average temperature has risen about 1 degree F in the past 100 years and is projected to rise another 3 to 10 degrees F in the next 100 years.

Chemistry at Work: CO2 and the Greenhouse Effect Greenhouse gases and global warming have received increasing attention in recent years. The identification of the ozone hole in 1985 combined with unusual fluctuations in global temperatures have combined to capture the eye of the global media. Recent scientific study and analysis of the greenhouse gases has added to this interest. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have an important influence on the climate of our planet.

Unless a person lives in a country where technology is prevalent‚ one’s life is most likely influenced by technology in one way or another. For example if one looks at the devices in a modern day home‚ a refrigerator‚ an electric stove‚ a blender or a toaster oven will be found. In the living room‚ one will most likely have a television and perhaps a computer. A large percentage of people own cell phones to stay connected with friends‚ family‚ colleagues and business associates. The most up to

again it’s most likely not. You see‚ the sun lets light in so we can see and have nutrients. And there is the little thing called the ozone layer that keeps a little of the sun in but not a lot of it. With the ozone layer‚ the heat and light from the sun bounces back towards itself. Like I said‚ the ozone layer only allows a little of the sun in. yet‚ by pollution the ozone layer becomes thinner and thinner allowing more sun to come in and fry us. I’ll break it down for you.

Ozone quality: Ozone is a gas that shields the earth’s and occurs naturally in the earth’s upper atmosphere. It protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
