All Flashcards
Kyoto Protocol?
International agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, focusing on anthropogenic CO2.
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)?
Powerful greenhouse gases, often used as refrigerants.
Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)?
Potent greenhouse gases, used in industrial processes.
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)?
Extremely potent greenhouse gas, used in electrical equipment.
Paris Agreement?
Global agreement to limit global warming to below 2°C through mitigation and adaptation.
Vapor Recovery Nozzle?
Device on gas pumps to reduce VOC emissions.
Catalytic Converter?
Device in vehicles to convert toxic gases into less harmful ones.
Wet Scrubber?
Air pollution control device that uses liquid to remove pollutants.
Dry Scrubber?
Air pollution control device that uses dry reagents to remove pollutants.
Electrostatic Precipitator?
Air pollution control device using electrical charge to remove particulates.
Fossil fuel combustion?
Releases greenhouse gases, leading to climate change and respiratory problems.
Industrial emissions?
Contribute to acid rain, respiratory illness, and ecosystem damage.
Deforestation?
Reduces carbon sinks, increasing atmospheric CO2 and global warming.
Vehicle emissions?
Contribute to smog, respiratory problems, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Methane release?
Traps more heat in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
Nitrous oxide release?
Traps more heat in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
