Radiative efficiencies for fluorinated esters: indirect global warming potentials of hydrofluoroethers [PDF]
, 2011 Density Functional Theory (DFT) has been used with an empirically-derived correction for the wavenumbers of vibrational band positions to predict the infrared spectra of several fluorinated esters (FESs). Radiative efficiencies (REs) were then determined

Environmental Research Letters, 2020 The atmospheric lifetime and radiative impacts of different climate pollutants can both differ markedly, so metrics that equate emissions using a single scaling factor, such as the 100-year Global Warming Potential (GWP _100 ), can be misleading.

Sustainability, 2022 The manufacturing and construction industries have always been large contributors to global CO2 emissions, largely as a consequence of material choices. Two of the most commonly used building materials are concrete and steel, but both of these industries have been identified as large sources of atmospheric CO2.

Effect of organic rice (Oryza sativa) cultivation on greenhouse gas emission
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020 Organic cultivation of crops is important for improving and maintaining soil health and reducing environmental pollution. The organic sources of fertilizer also have impact on emission of greenhouse gases. A field experiment was conducted during 2015-16
