Environmental chemistry of climate change
Climate change is the study of negative chemical processes in the Earth's environment caused by human activities like vehicular emission, industrial pollution etc. The important elements that damage the environment are as follows. The greenhouse gasses : The climate system of Earth's is significantly affected by greenhouse gasses which are identified as GHGs. Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gasses. The greenhouse effect, which is caused by these gasses trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, is crucial to keeping the planet's temperature habitable. But the activities of humans like deforestation, burning fossil fuels, and industrial processes, have dramatically increased GHG concentrations,causing global warming. Carbon Cycle: The carbon cycle is an important environmental process, in which exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere, land, and oceans. Human activity, specifically the burning of fossil fue...
