  • The most important greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere include carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), water vapor (H 2 O), ozone (O 3 ), and the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs including CFC-12 (CCl 2 F 2 ) and CFC-11 (CCl 3 F)). In addition to reflecting sunlight, clouds are also a major greenhouse substance. (nationalacademies.org)
  • In addition, sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) and perfluorocarbon gases such as carbon tetrafluoride (CF 4 ) are very potent and nearly inert greenhouse gases with atmospheric lifetimes much longer than 1000 years. (nationalacademies.org)
  • The natural atmosphere contained many greenhouse gases whose atmospheric concentrations were determined by the sum of the ongoing geophysical, biological, and chemical reactions that produce and destroy them. (nationalacademies.org)
  • The common characteristics of greenhouse gases are (1) an ability to absorb terrestrial infrared radiation and (2) a presence in Earth's atmosphere. (nationalacademies.org)
  • The most important greenhouse gases listed above all contain three or more atoms per molecule. (nationalacademies.org)
  • All the listed greenhouse gases except ozone are released to the atmosphere at Earth's surface and are spread globally throughout the lower atmosphere. (nationalacademies.org)
  • Everyday dishonest claims like "Greenhouse gases warm up the earth" and "Drive electric, save the world from overheating" are shown on TV, social media, and billboards. (isgarbos.com)
  • The main human made greenhouses gases are: Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and Sulfate aerosols (SO2). (isgarbos.com)
  • Yes, and not only that, also the bad greenhouse gases, the ones that heat up the earth. (isgarbos.com)

  • World Green house gas: we produce the good green house gases and they, the livestock the bad ones that only heat the world up. (isgarbos.com)
  • Our industries, cars and farms put lots of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the air. (bhekisisa.org)
  • Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, and much like the glass roof of a greenhouse , let the sun's heat in during the day and keeps it inside the cosy cover at night. (bhekisisa.org)

  • Nebulizers are devices that transform solutions or suspensions of medications into aerosols that are optimal for deposition in the lower airway. (medscape.com)
  • But questions remained concerning the degree of decadal variability, the length of the record and the balance in the models between aerosol forcing and climate sensitivity (which can't really be disentangled using this measure). (realclimate.org)
  • To clarify, I am not stating that volcanic activity has absolutely no effect on our global climate, and in fact volcanic eruptions usually have a net cooling effect due to the release of sulfate aerosols , which tends to reflect incoming solar radiation. (climateaware.org)
  • Aerosols are a major preoccupation for climate scientists as the particles-including dust, ash, sea salt, soot, and industrial pollutants-can scatter light and affect Earth's energy balance. (nasa.gov)
  • This imbalance is really an important quantity - estimates of how much warming is in the 'pipeline', the size of the aerosol cooling effect etc. all depend on knowing what this number is. (realclimate.org)
  • [ 6 ] The inherent advantages of aerosol drug delivery are a faster onset of pharmacologic action, because the drug is being delivered to the site that requires a therapeutic effect, and a lower systemic bioavailability, which decreases potential adverse effects. (medscape.com)
  • Policies and investments supporting cleaner transport, energy-efficient housing, power generation, industry and better municipal waste management would reduce key sources of urban outdoor air pollution. (who.int)
  • We know that both carbon dioxide and water vapor are very strong greenhouse gases, because of their ability to retain infrared radiation (heat). (climateaware.org)
  • Now you may be wondering, "what about that other greenhouse gas, water vapor? (climateaware.org)
  • To answer this simply, I will say that while water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas, it has a much shorter residence time within Earth's atmosphere when compared to CO2. (climateaware.org)
  • Moreover, water vapor is considered an amplifier of greenhouse gases and is directly related to temperature, which can create a positive feedback loop. (climateaware.org)
  • Also, for optics aficionados, a site called Atmospheric Optics will walk you through a number of interesting examples of aerosols and atmospheric water and ice scattering light. (nasa.gov)
  • As EPOD notes , the size of an aureole - the halo-like circle that appears around the sun when viewed through a haze or mist - depends on the amount of aerosol in the air. (nasa.gov)
  • These eruptions are high in energy, and tend to launch debris and aerosols to high altitudes as magma violently exits the crater. (climateaware.org)
  • A spacer is an extension add-on device that permits the aerosol plume from the MDI to expand and slow down, turning it into a very fine mist instead of a high-pressure actuation spray. (medscape.com)
  • In a long awaited and hard fought victory, the nation is set this weekend to switch over almost all its diesel fuel to a new vastly lower sulfur content , setting the stage for major improvements in air quality, particularly in dense urban areas like NYC that rely heavily on trucks to deliver goods to our stores and houses.
