increasing energy demands associated with economic growth and industrialization have resulted in dramatic increases in air pollution emissions. air pollution damages the plant mainly by disrupting cell homeostatic conditions.in the present study, diverse plant criteria indicating air pollution from different levels including cell biochemistry, leaf and tree crown in the plane-tree were determin...

Petrol prices between December 2015 and January 2016 have been at their lowest in years. These more affordable gasoline prices encourage less efficient car-based transportation and longer trips, which is, in turn, expected to lead to increased carbon dioxide emissions and increased greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. Terrestrial transport can represent up to 20% of all C emissions to the a...

Overview of Issue In the past two years research has pointed towards the possibility of using urban planning as a tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas. For many focused on the issue of climate change, there is a consensus that atmospheric carbon dioxide should be contained at no more than twice the maximum level of atmospheric carbon dioxide that existed during the pre-industr...

Policies are being developed worldwide to increase bioenergy production as a substitution for fossil fuel to mitigate fossil fuelderived carbon dioxide emissions, the main cause of anthropogenic global climate change4,5. However, the capacity for forest sector bioenergy production to offset carbon dioxide emissions is limited by fossil fuel emissions from this activity (harvest, transport, and ...

This Submission sets out a more rational basis for setting targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions than that of all current proposals, and shows that such targets do not need to be as severe as commonly supposed. It then queries the apparently already firm decision of the Garnaut Review to adopt the HowardShergold preference for an emissions trading scheme (ETS) as the method of choice f...

5% of global carbon dioxide emissions originates from cement production. About half of it from calcination and half of combustion processes. A wide range of options exists to reduce CO 2 emissions considerably.

To better understand the role of sustainable urban development in greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, this study examines the paths by which urban form influences an individual household’s carbon dioxide emissions in the 125 largest urbanized areas in the U.S. Our multilevel SEM analyses show that doubling population-weighted density is associated with a reduction in CO2 emissions from household t...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) that caused global environmental degradation and climate change. China has been the top carbon dioxide emitter since 2007, surpassing the USA by an estimated 8%. So, forecasting future CO2 emissions trend in China provides the basis for policy makers to draft scientific and rational energy and economic develo...

Article history: Received 27 March 2007 Received in revised form 14May 2007 Accepted 2 June 2007 Available online 6 July 2007 This paper investigates the long run Granger causality relationship between economic growth, carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption in Turkey, controlling for gross fixed capital formation and labor. Themost interesting result is that carbon emissions seem to Gr...
