If we are talking about the propellants in an aerosol can, then these do pollute the air, however this has been improved recently, as the CFCs which damaged the ozone layer are not used any more. The aerosols that comes from the can (i.e. the particulates suspended in the gas) probably also pollutes the air. In a way all aerosols are pollutants.

What is the process by which gases hold heat in the air?

The process by which gases hold heat in the air is known as the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. This trapped heat warms the Earth, contributing to global warming and climate change.


Does burping or farting pollute your air?

Burping and farting release small amounts of gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which are natural byproducts of digestion. While these gases do contribute to air pollution in large quantities, the small amounts released through burping and farting are not significant enough to pose a pollution concern.


What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?

The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.


Do greenhouse gases warm the air near earth's surface by trapping carbon dioxide?

Greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the warming of the air near the surface. This process is known as the greenhouse effect and is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature within a range suitable for supporting life. However, human activities have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming and climate change.


How are greenhouse gases measured in the atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are measured using instruments like spectrometers and satellites that can detect and quantify the concentration of these gases in the air. Scientists collect data from various locations around the world to monitor and track changes in greenhouse gas levels over time.

How do greenhouse gases warm the lower atmosphere?

Greenhouse gasses harm the Earth because they pollute the air and makes our atmosphere thinner. When that happens, it is letting more and more heat in our Earth that drought will happen and water will be lost.

How is the climate affected by the greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse gases can be very hot, so once they get out into the air, the climate gets hotter.


What is an example of an energy resource that does not pollute the air with greenhouse gases?

Any of the sources of renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).

How has human activity lead to an increase in the amount of ultra-violet light reaching earth?

Think about all of the emissions/gases we pollute our earth with. These gases are called greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases damage different types of layers of our atmopshere (which include troposphere, startosphere, ozone layer, mesophere, and themosphere).


What is the largest form of air pollution?
