We can’t say we understand all of the ways that human activity, by modifying the environmental, can jeopardize the health, genetic inheritance, ecological balance, and the system that allows the world to sustain life. The list of these aspects is potentially extensive. But our current state of knowledge prevents us from expressing ourselves with adequate conviction about the issues’ age. He’ll go over five potentially dangerous issues that should be taken seriously.
How does atmospheric pollution affect the climate in light of all of this? There are currently too many uncertainties to provide a definitive response to this issue.
However, we may deduce that the following criteria are most important in this case:
- Aerosols
- vaporized water in the atmosphere
- CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
- The heat produced by the conversion of human energy
Aerosols:
The impact of aerosols on climate is the most difficult to assess, owing to the wide range of sizes, optical characteristics, and time in the atmosphere of their small, airborne particles. Aerosols are mostly responsible for making the atmosphere overcast or foggy. They also scatter and partially absorb light in a retrograde direction. Both when the rays move downhill and when the reflected light flows upwards.
While backscatter reduces the quantity of solar energy in the earth’s thermal balance, absorption causes. The layer of the atmosphere that contains the aerosols to be heated. The environmental near the earth cools if this layer is high enough.
In The Stratosphere, There Is A Lot Of Water Vapor.
In the U.s, a disagreement over the adoption of supersonic air travel has raised the problem of a rise in the quantity of water vapour in the stratosphere. Opponents of a project argue that the normal content of water vapour in the stratosphere is very low, owing to weak mixing between the troposphere as well as the stratosphere and the fact that water vapour passes through a very cold layer during this mixing, causing rising tropospheric air to be dehumidified.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
It is an inevitable byproduct of fossil fuel burning. Despite the fact that it is much heavier than air, it is always so well mixed with it under the influence of atmospheric motions. That it creates almost the same concentration in the stratosphere.
It absorbs infrared photons and, as a result of the greenhouse effect, alters the earth’s radiation balance. The properties of dioxide absorption are well understood, and the implications of raising its concentration in the atmosphere on the surface temperature of the earth will be the topic of numerous numerical modelling experiments.
The Heat Produced By Human Energy Conversion:
Although the majority of the risk stems from thermal air pollution from power plants, all energy produced must be addressed because it is all converted to heat. Some scientists estimate that a hundredfold increase in human conversion would have a significant effect right now, and this amount will be reached in 130 years if energy consumption continues to rise at its current rate of 4% per year.
The environmental systems which will arise then would most likely be vastly different from those that we are familiar with today.
