So measuring the concentration is not always the best way to measure absorption. However, it still is an important part of understanding carbon dioxide absorption and understanding what the effect of increasing the concentration in the atmosphere will have on us. A Look at the Interacting Molecule ...
Smoke from wildfires containsthousands of individual compounds, including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. The most prevalent pollutant by mass is particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, roughly 50 times smaller than a...
