WDEP Excess Emissions Letter 2021 June 16 Signed

NOx (nitrogen oxides) and CO (carbon monoxide) are both important air pollutants that can indirectly contribute to climate warming, even though they are not greenhouse gases themselves. Here’s how they are linked to global warming in simple chemistry terms: 1. Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Climate Warming: 2. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Climate Warming: The Connection…

Carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases, is harmful to the environment primarily because it contributes to global warming and climate change. Here’s why: To reduce carbon emissions and mitigate these effects, individuals and societies can adopt various strategies: 1. **Reduce Energy Consumption**: Use energy-efficient appliances and lighting, and turn…
