Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere in 1910 were around 290 ppm (parts per million). They are now approaching 400 ppm.

Carbon dioxide detectors typically range in price from $20 to $100, depending on the brand and features. Some higher-end models with additional capabilities may cost more.


What gas has been increasing in the atmosphere for the last 100 years?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been increasing in the atmosphere for the last 100 years. It is primarily released through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, as well as deforestation and other land-use changes. This increase in CO2 concentrations is a major driver of climate change.


Why have greenhouse gases increased so much in the past 100 years?

There have been a lot of upward trends in the past 100 years - population, industrialization, use of motor vehicles - each of thee contributes to GHG emissions, particularly carbon dioxide. In addition, the deforestation of many areas of the world either through logging, climate shifts or the increasing need for agricultural land has reduced the ability of the eco-system to absorb carbon dioxide. Still in the carbon dioxide sequestration area, changing farming practices have reduced the amount of carbon retained in the soil. Even more, the thawing of much of the permafrost in North America and Europe/Asia has liberated methane, a potent GHG with 21 times the impact of carbon dioxide. Then again there are new GHGs which were not even thought of 100 years ago - substances like CFCs and SF6 - which are very potent GHGs.


How much oxygen was in air 100 years ago?

The composition of Earth's atmosphere has remained relatively stable over the past 100 years, with oxygen making up about 21% of the air. However, human activities like deforestation and burning fossil fuels have increased carbon dioxide levels, which can indirectly impact oxygen levels through changes in the carbon cycle and ecosystems.

What is the percent by mass of carbon in 44g of carbon dioxide?

The molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44 g/mol. Carbon has a molar mass of 12 g/mol and oxygen has a molar mass of 16 g/mol. So, in 44g of CO2, there are 12g of carbon. Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in 44g of carbon dioxide is (12g / 44g) x 100 = 27.3%.
