Mapping Greenhouse Gases [PDF]
Chemical & Engineering News Archive, 2012 A new interactive tool from the Environmental Protection Agency gives the public the ability to analyze greenhouse gas emissions from more than 6,700 power plants, chemical plants, refineries, and other facilities. Rolled out in a briefing on Jan. 11, the Web-based tool enables searches of greenhouse gas emitters by facility, type of factory, amount ...

Greenhouse gases in the stratosphere
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 1993The potential radiative forcing in the stratosphere of changing concentrations of ozone, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons 11 and 12 is assessed. Significant changes in heating rate in the lower stratosphere are found. The response of a fully interactive radiative‐photochemical‐dynamical two‐dimensional model to such changes in gaseous ...

Greenhouse Effect: Greenhouse Gases and Their Impact on Global Warming
, 2018The Greenhouse effect is a leading factor in keeping the Earth warm because it keeps some of the planet's heat that would otherwise escape from the atmosphere out to space.

Greenhouse trace gases in deadwood
Biogeochemistry, 2016Deadwood, long recognized as playing an important role in storing carbon and releasing it as CO2 in forest ecosystems, is more recently drawing attention for its potential role in the cycling of other greenhouse trace gases. Across three Northeastern and Central US forests, mean methane (CH4) concentrations in deadwood were 23 times atmospheric levels (

A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits infrared radiation. The primary greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is a nontoxic, colorless, odorless gas.

Methane, CH4 is a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2 but its concentration is much less. It is produced by anaerobic bacteria. These occur in bogs and rice paddies, but also in the intestines of ruminant animals (cattle) and termites. Before oxygen appeared in Earth’s atmosphere methane may have been the most important greenhouse gas.

Greenhouse Gases Formation and Emission
2019The rising temperature of earth, known as global warming, is partially the result of the rise of greenhouse gases concentration in the atmosphere since the beginning of the 20th century, mostly due to anthropogenic activities. Global warming is one of the major threats to the environment because of the resulting climate change.

Greenhouse gases and building lifetimes
Building and Environment, 2013The aim of the article is to study the impact of a building's lifetime on greenhouse gas emissions. The influence of the lifetime of a dwelling with its performance levels maintained is studied according to the technical solutions chosen. The emissions due to heating and cooling are neutralized for the occupancy phase and only those of the building's ...

Greenhouse Gases and Climatic Change
2013Earth climate is determined by the equilibrium between the amount and distribution of incoming radiation absorbed from the sun and the outgoing longwave radiation emitted at the top of the atmosphere. Several atmospheric trace gases, including water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, absorb far more efficiently the longwave radiation ...
