Industries and factories emit carbon dioxide through burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and from using electricity which is largely generated from fossil fuels.

How could power stations reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they produce?

There are many ways to generate electricity. Methods that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce carbon dioxide. Methods using renewable energy do not. Nuclear power plants, although uranium in non-renewable, do not produce carbon dioxide. Power stations could be rebuilt to use different fuel sources. Biomass and biofuel will power a coal fired power station without emitting the carbon dioxide pollution.


What are the two ways in which carbon dioxide is added to the?

Respiration by animals is one of the ways through which carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere. The other way is through burning fuels that are carbon-based.


What are three ways carbon dioxide can be transported from the tissue into the blood?

carbonic acid, carbamino compounds and dissolved gas


Do people breathe CO2?

No, people do not breathe carbon dioxide (CO2). We breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide as a waste product of cell metabolism. High levels of carbon dioxide in the air can be harmful to health.


How is carbon dioxide taken out of the atmosphere besides photosynthesis?

Some carbon dioxide is absorbed by the top levels of the oceans where it is beginning to turn the oceans more acidic. That and photosynthesis are the only ways that carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere. Industries that emit carbon dioxide pollution are trialling ways of trapping carbon dioxide as it goes up the chimney stacks (scrubbers).

Is it possible to not produce carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is produced by our life processes, in the manufacture of everything we own, in all the motorized transportation that we use and in all the non-plant foods that we eat. It is not possible to produce (or be responsible for the production of) a zero emission of carbon dioxide. By minimizing transportation, buying "green", recycling, not using heating or cooling systems more than necesasry and all the ways available to cut our "carbon footprint" we can minimize our impact.


Where are carbon atoms turned in to carbon dioxide?

There are many ways. But it is happening when burning.


What are two ways that deforestation adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?

Rotting trees add carbon dioxide (and sometimes methane) to the atmosphere.Burning trees releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.


What are three ways carbon dioxide can be transported from the tissue into the blood?

carbonic acid, carbamino compounds and dissolved gas


In what two ways do forest fires contribute to the rise of carbon dioxide?

They release carbon dioxide when they burn.The burnt trees are no longer available to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.


What is the role of the passage ways in the lungs?

Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide


Ways of making carbon dioxide?

open soda bottles

Name two ways in which carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere-?

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which releases carbon stored in these fuels. Additionally, deforestation and land-use changes can also contribute to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere as trees store carbon and their removal releases it.
