Carbon Dioxide is toxic to humans and animals. If left unchecked in enclosures, homes, and buildings, it could be fatal and can cause death. Studies are now being implemented how to compute the levels of CO2 in homes and buildings with respect to its occupants.
A recent study showed that high carbon dioxide level has big impact to oceans as it makes seawater more acidic, which in turn hampers marine process called nitrogen fixation.
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) have invented a new catalyst that can efficiently convert carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO). This soon-to-be-patented invention enables the sustainable utilization of CO2, a potent greenhouse gas linked to climate change. If successful on a larger scale, this invention could provide a practical way for converting CO2 to useful chemicals.
Scientists tracked the historical changes in the carbon dioxide levels with the help Antarctic ice cores air pocket and deep sea floor sludge. Scientists compiled 1500 carbon dioxide estimates for creating a view extending 420 million years.
Over the past 50 years, the global rate of Oxygen at ocean is decreased by two percent. Scientists identified that burning of fossil fuel increases the greenhouse gas in atmosphere and 40 percent of greenhouse gases gets absorbed by ocean.
The latest human first has chilling consequences for our species, and all others: for the first time since scientists began tracking global carbon dioxide concentrations in our atmosphere, we have surpassed 400 parts per million worldwide.
For several years now researchers have come to find a perplexing missing amount of carbon dioxide in their data. Models have repeatedly missed the mark, and though researchers don’t exactly know where all of the carbon emissions are coming from and where they are going, many assumed that the answer had to lie in the ‘sink’ of the world’s oceans. But now researchers at the Imperial College London are finding that perhaps the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide has something to do with forests—or rather, what humans leave behind.
