Carbon monoxide is a toxic pollutant which is continually introduced into the Earth's atmosphere in significant quantities. There are apparently some mechanisms operating which destroy most of the CO in the atmosphere i.e., a CO 'sink'. These mechanisms have not as yet been established in a ...
The molecules of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere affect the heat balance of the Earth by acting as a one-way screen. Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass through, they absorb some longer wave-...
Carbon dioxide, a colorless gas having a faint sharp odor and a sour taste. It is a greenhouse gas, but it is a minor component of Earth’s atmosphere, formed in combustion of carbon-containing materials, in fermentation, in respiration of animals, and e
The more carbon dioxide people pump into Earth's atmosphere, warming the planet, the more carbon dioxide and heat slip into the oceans. 1 But they aren't the only ocean dwellers facing unwanted home renovations. Anything with a shell is at risk. So, too, may be certain fish. A new ...
