Question
Chapter 28, Problem 3AC
(a)
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The contribution of human population growth to (a) acid precipitation and (b) global climate change.
Introduction:
The human population is growing very rapidly and the development of new technologies has greater impact on nutrient cycles. Human activities that include use of fossil fuels and chemical fertilizers has disrupted the global nutrient cycles of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur. The agricultural demand of a growing human population leads to the excessive use of fertilizers containing phosphate, nitrogen, and urea. Overuse of these chemicals to the farm lands results in acid deposition and change in global climate.
(b)
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The contribution of human population growth to global climate change.
