Air Pollution Research Paper
The basis of this research paper is how do greenhouse gases, vehicles or fuels, particle pollution, mercury and other toxic air pollutants affect our planet and what are some possible ways to prevent these air pollutants? My hypothesis is that since air pollutants most likely cause a significant amount of damage, the best and most efficient way to control this is through regulatory, market-based or voluntary programs of action. A very obvious factor of global warming is greenhouse gases. When solar radiation passes into the Earth’s atmosphere, most is absorbed by the Earth and generated back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases however, trap the heat, keeping it from passing through the atmosphere creating the lower atmosphere to get warm. An example of one of these dangerous greenhouse gases is Carbon Dioxide, which is emitted through a variety of ways (solid waste, biomass, fossil fuels, or industrial processes) but can be removed by plants as part of a biological carbon cycle, c...
