subject: Rid My Carbon - Air Impacts of Carbon [print this page] Carbon dioxide or carbon is the most common greenhouse gas. It composes only 1 percent of the atmospheric gases. Carbon is not a bad gas after all. It is in fact very essential to the process of photosynthesis and this is present naturally in the environment. It may be a good thing to have in our environment but anything in excess is not a good sign to have.
Due to the rising percentage and presence of carbon in our environment it results to global warming. Carbon traps the process of radiation thereby causing ground level ozone. It makes the earth warmer even during nighttime. Due to the increasing temperature, it causes the ocean levels to rise up due to the melting of glaciers and ice.
Other air impacts of carbon include climate change. Yes. The earth is warmer than ever. Have you seen the ever changing climate? It is sunny in the morning but raining hard in the evening. Have you felt warmer even on rainy season?
Another effect is acid rain. Fossil fuel emissions when comes in contact with moisture results to precipitation that has high acid content. Surely, acid rain can affect the quality of life, especially that of plants, trees and animals. Other than those mentioned earlier, you will see that the huge impact of air pollution is on a person's health. Breathing may become difficult; it can also have a huge impact to a person's well being.
Make a choice now especially that you know what the air impacts of carbon are. Are you going to let another chance pass by? Are you going to continue destroying this Earth? If you want to make a difference, do it now. Do not let this world be destroyed by doing nothing. Have fun doing your part for this world.
