 INTRODUCTION
• Background • CO2 Molecular Geometry
• In the grand choreography of
Earth’s atmospheric ballet ,
Carbon dioxide (Co2)takes its
place as a molecular meastro
Chemically, CO2 is elegantly
composed of one carbon atom
bonded to two oxygen atoms
,forming a stable and ubiquitous
gas essential to life on our planet.

COM..
• purpose of the assignment: Embarking on a chemical expedition, this
assignment seeks to unravel the molecular intricacies of CO2 . Beyond
its environmental repercussions, we aim to explore the fundamental
principles governing its existence,its versatile participation in
chemical reactions, and the historical interplay with human activities
NATURAL SOURCES OF CO2

• CO2 emanates from a

multitude of natural sources,
seamlessly integrated into
the earth’s dynamic system.
one primary contributor is
cellular respiration, the
metabolic process occurring
in living cells where organic
compounds are oxidized to
produce energy, yielding
CO2 as a
byproduct.geological
activities,such as volcanic

MEASURING CO2 EMISSIONS

• monitoring methods : The
measurement of carbon dioxide
emissions involves a diverse
array of monitoring methods,
each offering unique insights into
the complex dynamics of this
greenhouse gas . Ground-based
monitoring stations are
strategically positioned across
the globe , equipped with precise
instruments that sample and
analyze air composition
 COM..
• Global and Regional Data : The
culmination of data from various
monitoring methods paints a
nuanced picture of global and
regional CO2 concentrations

IMPACT OF CO2 ON CLIMATE

CHANGE
COM..
• Role of CO2 in Global Warming:
the greenhouse effect is a natural
and vital process, the excessive
influx of CO2 from human
activities has disrupted this
delicate balance . The
combustion of fossil fuels ,
deforestation, and industrial
processes release substantial
amount of CO2 into the
atmosphere.

COM..
• Connection to Climate Events:
The impact of increased CO2
extends beyond the
thermometers rise . Climate
change , fueled by elevated
greenhouse gas concentrations,
manifests in a cascade of events
that redefine the Earth’s climatic
tapestry.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES
OF HIGH CO2 LEVELS
• Effects on Oceans and Marine
Life: The repercussions of
elevated CO2 levels extend
expensively into the World’s
oceans, impacting marine
ecosystems in profound ways.
One foremost consequence is
ocean acidification—a direct
result of the absorption os excess
atmospheric CO2 by seawater.

COM..
• Impact on Biodiversity:
Terrestrial ecosystems bear
witness to the transformative
impact of heightened CO2 levels.
Change in temperature and
precipitation patterns, influenced
by the warming effects of CO2 ,
reverberate through ecosystems,
triggering a chain reaction of
ecological shifts.
COM..
• Human Health Implications:
Beyond ecological realms , high
CO2 levels contribute to the
broader issue of air
pollution,with potential
ramifications for human health.
Elevated CO2 concentrations
often coexist with the release of
other pollutants,including
particulate matter and nitrogen
oxides,especially in urbanized
areas.This amalgamation of
pollutants can degrade air
quality, leading to a spectrum of

CONCLUSION
• CO2 gas is a Significant driver of climate change, with various sources
and profound impacts on the environment and human health, by
adopting sustainable practices, renewable energy, and innovative
technologies, we can reduce CO2 emissions and create a healthier
future for our planet
