Question | Answer |
CO2 | >100 years GH |
Methane | 12 years GH |
N2O (nitrous oxide) | 114 years GH natural emissions by bacteria in soil and oceans agriculture-fertilizer |
NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) | 1-2 months CP |
lead | several weeks CP leaded gasoline (banned), small industry emissions still remain |
NOx | 1-2 months combustion sources |
O3 | weeks to months GH secondary pollutant from photochemical reactions w/ NOx and VOCs good in strat(naturally forms by Chapman Cycle); bad in trop |
CO | CP combustion sources & biomass burning |
PM | CP small/medium-combustion and gas-phase photochemical reactions large-industrial grinding highest in Cairo secondary pollutant |
SO2 | few days CP coal combustion and power generating plants, refining and burning of petroleum highest in Chongqing, China |
FF combustion= | VOCs, NOx, PM, CO, SO2, lead, benzene |
Polar vortex | dark for months during winter->air cools quickly and vortex forms->air isolated & cold polar strat clouds-form composed of nitric acid and water; releases chlorine gas->massive ozone destruction |
thermohaline circulation | hot/cold ocean currents that could stop immediately |
