Best Answer

Basicly there are 2 types of processes that cause co2 emissions: natural and human made.

Natural processes include decay of vegetation, animals and even humans! Arobic respiration by living beings also produces co2 emissions.

Human made processes include combustion of fuels to produce energy. Combustion is done in vehicles, furnaces, industries, power plants, etcetra.

What specific human activities have lead to atmospheric CO2 levels increase?

Humans are polluting the planet mostly by doing activities that lead to atmospheric CO2 levels increase. The electrical devices like oven, microwave, machines used for warming ourselves do this but cars are the most dangerous because they relase the most CO2.


How do you work out CO2?

Co2 EMISSIONS can only be worked out by a 2,3 or 4 gas Gas Analyser. It has a complex computer chip inside the machine that filters the exhaust gas and works out the Hydrocarbons, the fuel & air mixture coming out of the engine. All cars have different parameter's, so we can not 'work it out'. A qualified technician with a Gas Analyser will have all the correct settings to adjust your Co2.

How much co2 was emitted from coal plants in 2010?

A power plant burning coal will emit almost 3 tonnes of carbon dioxide for every tonne of coal burned. Coal fired power plants are found all around the world. Data will be examined for US power plants. There are 492 coal-fired power plants in the U.S., with an average size of 667 megawatts (MW). The 2009 USEPA estimate of CO2 emissions is 1,329 lbs CO2 per megawatt-hour. This puts the total CO2 emission at about 1,900 million metric tonnes of CO2 a year.
