How do humans activities add gases and aerosols to the atmosphere?

Many of the activities that humans do have a direct or indirect link to contributing gases into the atmosphere. For example if you want to go swimming at a pool which is a 5 minute drive from your house, the swimming would not produce greenhouse gases into the air but the 5 minute drive would. But if you participated in a car race that would have a direct link to producing greenhouse gases becouse when you drive a normal petrol or gasoline powered car you would be producing carbon dioxide into the air.

What are atmosphere gases?
atmosphere gases are made of air
How have humans changed the atmosphere of the plants in the past 200 years?
They have increased the levels of the greenhouse gases.(Apex)
Which two gases in exhaust fumes are harmful for humans?
The two gases in exhaust fumes that are harmful to humans are carbon monoxide and nitrogen. Nitrogen is not as dangerous as the carbon monoxide, because the atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen.
What is the difference between permanent gases and variable gases in the atmosphere?
The difference between permanent and variable gases is that variable gases change in response to activities in the environment, and permanent gases stay constant.
What factors contribute to the decrease in the amount of energy reaching earth's surface?
There are several factors that contribute to the decrease in the amount of energy reaching earth's surface. These are: reflection, scattering, absorption by gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, and cloud cover.
Is the atmosphere is an example of a solution?
No. It is a mixture of gases and aerosols (extremely fine mists) of water-vapour..

What are the consequences of humans adding gases and other substances to Earth's atmosphere?
It depends on the gas. Greenhouse gases will tend to warm the troposphere. Aerosols such as black carbon will tend to block out the sun and cool the atmosphere, though these are generally not gases. Adding ozone-depleting gases will destroy ozone in the stratosphere, allowing more UV radiation to reach the surface which is harmful to life.
How may humans activities be warming earth's atmosphere?
Almost all the industrial activities leads to production of gases such as carbon di oxide,carbon monoxide and other green house gases.... it's quite obvious that green house gases increase the temperature of the earth's atmosphere by blocking and re-radiating the I-R rays into the atmosphere that have been reflected from the earth's surface previously .......
What is the envelope of gases aerosols and other materials that extends about 12 mile from Earth's surface and is held in place by gravity?
This is called the atmosphere.
Which of the atmosphere's gases is most importsnt to humans and animals?
Oxygen
What is the atmosphere and how are humans effecting it?
The atmosphere is a mixture of gases. (78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% other) Negatively.
At what time did humans start to add lots of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere?
industrial revolution
What are CFC gases?
CFC gases from aerosols and fridges destroy ozone and reduce the thickness of the ozone layer
What different forms do inhalants come in?
gases, nitrites, solvents and aerosols.
How humans change the atmosphere of the planet in the past 200 years?
They have increased the levels of greenhouse gases.
How have humans changed the atmosphere of the plant in the past years?
They have increased the levels of the greenhouse gases.(Apex)
