A family travels from New York City to Costa Rica three times a year for a vacation. The family would like to purchase some forested land in the Catskills, keeping the trees intact as an offset to the carbon dioxide they produce travelling each year. How much forest must they purchase? Use the following assumptions to measure the carbon offset provided by this intact forest. • The biomass of the forest increases at an annual rate of 2.8 × 105 kg/ha. • The forest biomass is 45% carbon by mass. • There are four people in the family. • 0.2 kg of CO2 is produced each mile per person on the flight. • The round-trip distance is 4,500 miles. • There are 2.47 acres in one hectare. 1. Calculate the mass of carbon, in kilograms, that is accumulated and stored in 1.0 ha of this forest in one year. 2. Calculate the mass of carbon, in kilograms, that is emitted by the family as a result of their round-trip flights to Costa Rica each year. 3. Calculate the number of acres of forest that must be…
Consider yourself as an owner of a factory using fossil fuel as energy source. Now as an
environmental expert, you want to make some decisions or rules in your company to reduce
the pollution and also to reduce the global warming. What are the steps that you will take?
Explain it in detail.
Research the air pollutants below. Explain:
what is the source of each pollutant?
What is its effect on human health?
What is its effect on the environment?
What measure are being taken to reduce each emission the atmosphere?
CO (Carbon monoxide)
SO2 (Sulfur dioxide)
NOX (Nitrogen Oxides)
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
Particulate Matter
Pb (Lead)
