Concept explainers

Air Pollution

The excess accumulation of pollutants or undesirable alterations in the environment and its resources such as air, water, and land can be referred to as pollution. Pollution affects the components of the environment. Pollution is considered a global issue as it is showing harmful effects worldwide. Metropolitan cities are more impacted by pollution than countryside or villages.

Question

What is the answer? The options are highest emissions, lowest emissions, neither.

Per kilogram of food product, select the highest and the lowest in
terms of CO2eq emissions intensity. Select 'neither' for those in
between.
Cattle meat
highest emissions
Cereals
lowest emissions
Chicken
lowest emissions
Eggs
lowest emissions
Rice
neither
Milk
highest emissions

List all the wastes that you generate, at home, school or during yourtrips to other places. Could you very easily reduce the generation ofthese wastes? Which would be difficult or rather impossible to reduce?
The carbon footprint is the amount of GHG produced from an activity or a product. What would be the carbon footprint of a power plant producing electricity from coal. Calculate the GHG emission of CO2 per kWh of electricity produced. Assume the energy efficiency of the power plant as 38% and the heating value of coal as 4500 Kcal/Kg. Assume coal is 50% carbon. The answer you will get is also known as the emission factor for a coal power plant.
Environmentally conscious Susan has been told that a newelectric car will only generate 6 ounces of greenhouse gases (GHG) permile, but that a standard internal combustion car is double that at 12ounces per mile. However, the nature of electric cars is such that the new technology and electric batteries generate 30,000 lbs. of GHG to manu-facture and another 10,000 lbs. to recycle. A standard car generates only 14,000 lbs. of GHG to manufacture, and recycling with established tech-nology is only 1,000 lbs. Susan is interested in taking a systems approach that considers the life-cycle impact of her decision. How many miles mustshe drive the electric car for it to be the preferable decision in terms ofreducing greenhouse gases?
