LET'S CHECK

1. Different gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and

other inert gases, make up air. With a proportion of 78.09%,
nitrogen has the largest concentration, followed by oxygen
(20.95%), argon (0.93%), carbon dioxide (0.04%), and other gases
in little quantities.
2. Climate is the weather of a particular location averaged over a
long period of time as opposed to weather, which refers to
short-term atmospheric conditions. Long-term changes are
referred to as climate change.
3. Carbon dioxide- Fossil fuel combustion; Deforestation; Cement
production Methane-Fossil fuel production; Agriculture; Landfills
Nitrous Oxide-Fertilizer application; Fossil fuel and biomass
combustion; Industrial processes. Chlorofluorocarbon - 12 (CFC-
12)- Refrigerants Hydrofluorocarbon- 23 (HFC-23)- Refrigerants
Sulfur Hexafluoride - Electricity transmission Nitrogen Trifluoride
- Semiconductor manufacturing

LET'S ANALYZE

1. We prevent the carbon dioxide emissions that would have

resulted from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas
when we obtain our electricity from renewable energy sources
like wind and solar power. Elect green energy.
2. Because there was either there wasn't enough oxygen or there
had been incomplete combustion.
3. Water is still created in the case of incomplete combustion, but
carbon monoxide and carbon are formed instead of carbon
dioxide. Soot is the carbon's liberated form. One reason why full
combustion is preferred over partial combustion is because
carbon monoxide is a harmful gas.
4. Acid rain is a result of sulfur dioxide, which turns green to red or
orange as it dissolves and forms an acid.
5. Since carbon dioxide is present, lime water
IN A NUTSHELL

1. Through our daily interactions with industries, farms, and

automobiles, we produce greenhouse gases. Four main
greenhouse gases are produced by our actions. Burning fossil
fuels, coal, natural gas, and oil, as well as solid waste, trees, and
wood products releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The amount of carbon dioxide and other gases that trap heat on
the planet can be reduced by humans making various changes.
For instance, increasing energy efficiency and vehicle fuel
economy, increasing wind and solar power, producing biofuels
from organic waste, placing a price on carbon, and protecting
forests are all effective measures.
2. Ozone depletion, the greenhouse effect, climate change, and
adverse impacts on human health are all consequences of
atmospheric pollution caused by air pollutants such ozone,
particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur
dioxide, and lead. If someone cites the primary causes of air
pollution in addition to industry, modes of transportation, the
production of solid waste, and urbanization. A chemical process
that starts when gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
are discharged into the atmosphere leads to acid rain.
