Environmental Issues: 1. Green House TheEffect: phenomenon of increase in temperature of the earth









as in artificial greenhouse is called green house effect. The gases which are responsible for the greenhouse effect are called greenhouse gases [1]. A warming of Earth’s surface and troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) caused by trapping the heat in the form of infra red radiation near the earth surface by atmospheric constituents such as water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides and Chloro Fluro Carbons. Environmental scientists estimated that the green house effect of carbon dioxide was 57%, chlorofluorocarbon was 25%, methane was 12% and that of the oxides of nitrogen was 6% [1; 2].

Environmental Issues: 1. Green House Effect: Effects on animals:  It

has a role in spreading different types of diseases like malaria, filariasis, cholera, and diarrhoea etc due to rise in temperature.  It has a role in increasing the number of vectors like insects transmitting diseases. Effects on plants:  It affects water cycle, soil moisture and soil composition. As a result, there is a change in cultivation and harvesting periods of crops.  Tropical plants are seen at the temperate region.  It affects on yield of crops. Effects on climate:  It increases the temperature of earth.  It brings about the melting of ice in the Polar Regions, which increases the sea level due to which the low land coastal areas may sink and go underwater.  It also changes the pattern of rainfall and weather conditions [1; 2; 3].

Environmental Issues: 2. Global Warming:  Global warming is the phenomenon of rise in temperature of the earth by accumulation of green house gases.  About 75% of the solar energy reaching the Earth is absorbed on the earth’s surface which increases its temperature. The rest of the heat radiates back to the atmosphere. Some of the heat is trapped by greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide this responds to keep the temperature warmer [2; 3; 4].  Effects : • Temperature increases • Glaciers melt • Rising ocean levels • Alter forests, crop yields • Affect human health • Affect ecosystems • Season changes Page 8

Global Warming Potential (GWP): ►

Global warming potential (GWP) for the 6 primary GHGs are summarized below:

GWP is the global warming impact that a GHG would have over a 10-year timeframe. By definition, CO2 is used as the reference benchmark [2]. Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education

Environmental Issues: 3. Climate Change  Climate is the average weather at a given point and time of year, over a long period (typically 30 years).  We expect the weather to change a lot from day to day, but we expect the climate to remain relatively constant.  If the climate doesn’t remain constant, we call it climate change [2; 4]. Changes in: – Sun’s output (Solar radiation) – Earth’s orbit – Drifting continents – Volcanic eruptions – Greenhouse gases

Environmental Issues: 4. Acid Rain Acid rain is basically rain that has a low pH.  When fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are burned, chemicals like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are produced. These chemicals react with water and other chemicals in the air to form sulfuric acid, nitric acid and other harmful pollutants like sulfates and nitrates. These acid pollutants spread upwards into the atmosphere, and finally return to the ground in the form of acid rain [2; 4].  EFFECTS OF ACID RAIN Acid rain is an extremely destructive form of pollution, and the environment suffers from its effects. Land, Buildings, Forests, trees, lakes, aquatic life, animals, and plants suffer from acid rain. 
