6 Ice age — time in the past when continental glaciers covered large parts of Earth's surface Global warming — a gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere Greenhouse gas — Gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, that trap solar energy Ozone hole — a large area of
reduced ozone concentration in the stratosphere, found over Antarctica Chlorofluorocarbon — chlorine compounds that are the main cause of ozone depletion KEY TERMS
At the same time, increased use of domestic natural gas has helped
reduce ozone concentrations in the air by 17 percent since 2005:
Not exact matches
It would provide important insight into how much SRM would
reduce radiative heating, the
concentration of water vapor in the stratosphere, and the processes that determine water vapor transport — which affects the
concentration of
ozone.
These air temperature reductions have also been projected to improve local air quality by
reducing smog formation and
ozone concentration.
The researchers calculated that adopting GHG mitigation technologies would
reduce particulate matter and ambient
ozone concentrations by about 10 percent.
But then the other thing going on is those same protons run to the closing isobars of the earth EMF away from the tropics, and there
reduce ozone, and create over time a
concentration of
ozone over the tropics, thereby increasing the intensity of the ITCZ and increasing tropical storm probabilities, as the wind then wanes under 500.
As a result of the discovery of
ozone depletion and the scientific advances that delineated its causes, efforts to reduce the production, and ultimately the atmospheric concentrations, of ozone - depleting chemicals were begun in the late 1980s through the ratification of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer by many countries across the g

«The direct health effects caused by higher
ozone concentration include irritation of mucous membranes, respiratory reactions such as
reduced lung functions, cardiovascular diseases, as well as an impaired physical performance,» according to Umweltbundesamt.
Since a sustainable future based on the continued extraction of coal, oil and gas in the «business - as - usual mode» will not be possible because of both resource depletion and environmental damages (as caused, e.g., by dangerous sea level rise) we urge our societies to -LSB-...]
Reduce the
concentrations of warming air pollutants (dark soot, methane, lower atmosphere
ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons) by as much as 50 % [and] cut the climate forcers that have short atmospheric lifetimes.
The impact of the Volkswagen scandal to air quality is significant and include
reduced concentrations of secondary particulates and
ozone.
Since a large body of evidence links pollution with poor health, and health is an important part of human capital, efforts to
reduce pollution could plausibly be viewed as an investment in human capital and thus a tool for promoting economic growth... We find robust evidence that
ozone levels well below federal air quality standards have a significant impact on productivity: a 10 ppb decrease in
ozone concentrations increases worker productivity by 4.2 percent.
«Thanks in part to the increased use of domestic natural gas,
ozone concentrations in the air have dropped by 17 percent since 2000, all of which makes the United States not just an energy superpower, but also a leader in
reducing global emissions.
