The Effects of gases on the environment
Introduction In the intricate web of Earth's ecosystems, gases play a pivotal role in maintaining the delicate balance necessary for life. From the oxygen we breathe to the greenhouse gases that regulate the planet's temperature, gases are fundamental to the functioning of our environment. Human actions, ranging from industrial growth to logging and fossil fuels, have increased the concentration of various gases, especially greenhouse gases. In this blog, we will explore the gases that affect our planet. We'll pinpoint their origins, discuss their impacts, and emphasize the urgent need for sustainable practices to mitigate their harmful effects. The Composition of Earth's Atmosphere Earth's atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen [about 78%] and oxygen [about 21%], with trace amounts of other gases including argon, carbon dioxide [CO₂], methane [CH₄], nitrous oxide [N₂O], and various pollutants. These gases are crucial for sustaining life, facilitating respirat...
