Substances like methane are responsible for increased atmospheric temperature. Sulfates affect soil. Sulfates combine with atmospheric water to form acid water. Acid water has a negative effect of soil and microorganism living in it. Mercury, on the other ...

Abstract

Cars have always played an important role in the course of human development. In the past, man had a vision to introduce an invention to transport people along long distances. To turn the vision of a self-propelling automobile into reality, it took the development of a reliable combustion engine that operated on liquid fuel. In 1672, the first steam-powered vehicle as a toy for the Chinese emperor was built by Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China. As the automobile industry grew, so did the rate of environmental pollution. Car engines are considered to be the prime source of air pollution. The ...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and two methods of reducing these emissions

Greenhouse gas emissions are a rising concern facing the entire world today. Greenhouse gasses are essentially those chemical compounds found on earth which allow the passage of sunlight into the earth’s atmosphere. When the sun shines down upon the earth it emits light that penetrates into the Earth’s surface, however some of this light is reflected back into the space in the form of heat or infrared radiation. It is this radiation that is absorbed by the green house gasses and retained within the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are necessary to maintain the atmospheric temperature on earth. According to ...

Sulphur Dioxide and Our Planet

Sulphur Dioxide is a colourless pungent gas which is highly soluble in water. Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gases contain sulphur. When burnt in motor vehicles, power stations and in other industrial applications, sulphur reacts with oxygen and its compounds in the combustion process to form Sulphur Dioxide. These are the artificial sources of Sulphur Dioxide. Apart from these, Sulphur Dioxide is produced naturally in huge quantities during volcanic eruptions and forest fires. It is the most chemically active compound produced by volcanoes. Apart from natural sources, Sulphur Dioxide is also produced in anthropological activities like ...

Externality is a situation in which the activity of one entity affects the welfare of another entity in a way that is outside the existing market (Rosen, 2005, p. 47). Simply put, externalities are the costs or benefits that arise from market transactions which are not reflected in prices. And when we speak of negative externalities, obviously, these are costs to third parties (other than the producer and consumer). Why is there negative externality? I learnt from Economics that under a competitive system, the market price of a good takes into account both the negative and positive effects of using the good. However, ...

Introduction

The photoelectric effect can be defined as an ejection or emission of electrons a metallic surface as a response to a light incident. Energy within an incident light is taken in by electrons inside the metallic surface. This provides the electrons with the necessary to be emitted from the metal’s surface. There have been many discoveries by many scientists such as Einstein and Maxwell who have identified different experiments of justifying the photoelectric effect. This experiment is the simplest and most convincing and direct proof of the photons existence as well as electromagnetic radiation and light’s ‘corpuscular’ nature. Therefore, this ...

The understanding and determination of carbon footprint is greatly evolving, and today, several accounting systems of carbon footprint are available.

Fundamentally, the change in energy prices affects the emission rates only on a short-term basis, but the sustained effect remains the same. Globally, the price elasticity in the energy sector has remained fairly constant with a few fluctuations recorded since the year 2010: this is in reference to the crude oil prices that are a reflection of the global energy consumption index. When the price of energy rises, the consumption per unit is reduced (on the short-term), and the emissions decline. However, from a long-term analysis, the total consumption of energy remains the same; hence, the rate of the ...

Introduction
After Global Agreement for Trade and Tariff came into existence in the 1990s, the overall supply chain process used in companies changed completely. Companies started sourcing raw materials and finished goods from thousands of miles away to gain cost advantage even though those were available nearby the point of consumption (Kannan and Sasikumar, 2009). Supply chain suddenly became the main differentiating factor between companies. The supply chain process increased the overall goods movement, which increased the greenhouse gas emission enormously. Increased level of demands started generating huge amounts of waste and this became a concern for the governments. ...

Is it fair to restrict the growth of developing countries because of climate change?

Climatic change is a fundamental problem that is affecting developing nations, as well as developed nations of the world. However, as Nath and Behera pointed that developing nations are likely to be faced with a greater incidence of the outcome of climatic change than developed nations. This is because developed nations have the resources to deal with the outcomes of climatic changes and are already setting up mitigation strategies with respect to it.
The earth has limited carrying capacity and therefore increased population growth is likely to do more harm than good. Restricting the growth of developing nations can be ...
