Working for Climate Change, it is observed that large quantity of emissions due to use of fossil fuel. Road transport is one of major contributors. Recent more than 250mm rain within 48 hrs in Dubai, snowfall in Himachal Pradesh India during summer season, very high AQI , more than 400 in India and similar to other countries. These are few practical examples related to Climate Change.
Is global warming result of ground level ozone? Are living beings to face impact of ozone?
Hey there Akhilesh Prasad Singh!
Ground level ozone is indeed harmful to health, no doubt about that. As an engineer working on climate change, I've seen firsthand how emissions from fossil fuels, particularly from road transport, contribute significantly to this issue.
You Akhilesh Prasad Singh mentioned some pretty striking examples. Heavy rain in Dubai, summer snowfall in Himachal Pradesh, and extremely high Air Quality Index (AQI) levels, exceeding 400 in India and elsewhere, are clear signs of climate change in action.
Now, about your Akhilesh Prasad Singh questions: While ground level ozone does play a role in global warming, it's not the primary driver. The main culprits are greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. However, ground level ozone does contribute to the greenhouse effect and can worsen global warming.
As for its impact on living beings, yes, ground level ozone can definitely cause health problems. It can damage lung tissue, exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma, and even lead to cardiovascular issues. So, it's something we need to address to safeguard both human health and the environment.
Let's Akhilesh Prasad Singh keep working towards a cleaner, healthier planet!
Thanks, then NOx from GH2 based ICE vehicles considered as green energy vehicles shall be more dangerous.
Will onground ozone help to fill holes created by GHG emissions from fossil fuels and help to reduce global warming?
Atmospheric Ozone layer protect or filter out UVs from light hitting Earth surface. Low wavelength of UVs from white light and mostly absorbed in outer layer of atmosphere. Emissions from fossil fuels as pollutants in atmosphere resist energy received from sunlight at Earth and converted to heat ( IR) escape to space. In natural atmospheric condition, solar energy about 3-8 kWh/m2 per day anyway escape to space daily maintaining Earth Surface temperature normal but diffrent pollutions in atmosphere not allowing extra energy particularly converted to heat from escape to space. The heat energy hold by pollutions above is causing global warming
Utilizing green energy generated from sunlight in any form for use in night and provide green energy to all sectors, though most of energy except those used for light converted to heat energy in use but being green energy no emissions easily allow all addition energy above natural temperature of Earth to escape in space. This will not only save Climate Change, global warming but energy crisis in world
