What is the chemical inside deodorant that contributes to global warming?
The chemical inside deodorant that can contribute to global warming is often a group known as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These chemicals are potent greenhouse gases that can trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change.
Does CFC's cause Global warming?
Actually CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) don't do much to cause global warming. CFCs destroy ozone, and may cause problems concerning the UV rays coming through the atmosphere. Global warming has to do with carbon dioxide levels and temperature.
What is the full form of CFC?
CFC stands for "chlorofluorocarbons," which are synthetic compounds used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and aerosol propellants. They are known to deplete the ozone layer and contribute to global warming.
What is global warming and how does styrofoam contribute to global warming?
Global warming, according to the United Nations through the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) means that the earth is gradually warming because of actions of the human race. Specifically by adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and cutting down the world's forests. When we burn coal and oil, which we do to produce electricity and drive our transport, we release carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. This is warming the planet. The second part of the question is related to this. Styrofoam (polystyrene) is a plastic. Plastics are made from oil, mostly fossil fuel oil. Styrofoam is usually made with hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) as blowing agents. These affect ozone depletion and global warming. They are not as harmful to the ozone layer as chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) which were formerly used, but as a greenhouse gas HCFCs are about 1000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.
Does burning of fossil fuel contribute to melting ice caps?
Absolutely! burning fossil fuels creates harmful fumes that go into into our atmosphere. These fumes are known as greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are affecting global warming and are causing our ice caps to melt.
Is the main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer global warming?
The main cause of thinning is CFC's. Global warming also affects it.
Was global warming caused by CFCs and a hole in the ozone layers?
Global warming was not originally caused by CFC's. However they are also a reason behind it.
What impact have chlorofluorocarbons CFC emissions had on global warming?
the effect is that they polute the air
How do cfc's contribute to both ozone depletion and greenhouse effect?
CFC's react with ozone to deplete it. This then causes global warming.
Ozone layer depletion cfc's in global warmng?
Global Warming has nothing to do with the Ozone layer. Ozone is a chemical, O3 ,that stops most of the UV radiation from the sum from getting to the earth's surface. Chloro-fluoro carbons- CFC's are chemicals that were used in cooling systems and complex fire extinguishers, as well as aerosols. When scientists did research in the 1970's etc, they worked out that CFC's, such as Freon, chlorotrifluoromethane, CClF3, break ozone into oxygen and "oxygen radicals", that react with the CFC. This creates a hole in the ozone layer. A lack of ozone doesn't affect global warming. Instead, the CFC's themselves are potent greenhouse gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What must be done to slow process of ozone depletion and global warming?
CFC's must be curbed. HCFC's must be used.
Is the main cause of thinning of the ozone layer global warming?
The main cause of ozone layer depletion is human activities releasing chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere, not global warming. These chemicals break down ozone molecules, leading to thinning of the ozone layer. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere, but it does not directly cause thinning of the ozone layer.
How do you help the ozone?
We can stop using CFC gases which are used in refrigerants and air conditioners which are responsible for its depletion. In this way we can stop global warming.
Why are CFCs not more important than CO2 in causing global warming?
CFC's are actually not related to global warming at all. They are used as coolants in refrigerators and propellants in spray cans. CFC's damage the ozone layer, which protects living organisms on Earth from the suns UV rays. So CFC's are not a factor of global warming. But CO2, carbon dioxide, is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. Since the Earth absorbs the suns rays and more CO2 is formed (from people burning fossil fuels), this makes the worlds temperature become warmer.
What is the chemical inside deodorant that contributes to global warming?
The chemical inside deodorant that can contribute to global warming is often a group known as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These chemicals are potent greenhouse gases that can trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change.
What reasons do CFC's affect local and global pollution?
CFC's contain chlorine and fluorine. They affect local and global pollution.
What happened to the ozone layer in global warming?
The depletion of the ozone layer is not directly related to global warming. The ozone layer is being depleted by human-produced chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which break down ozone molecules. Global warming, on the other hand, is primarily caused by the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to the trapping of heat and resulting in rising temperatures on Earth.
