Carbon Dioxide Emissions

There were instances in which sulphur dioxide concentrations exceed the local standards.

Sixty four Parties (52 per cent) reported emission estimates of sulphur dioxide (SO2).

Sixty four Parties (52 per cent) reported emission estimates of sulphur dioxide (SO2).

Measures to Limit Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Table 3 presents emissions and projected emissions of CO2 , methane, nitrous oxide, perfluorinated carbons, sulphur hexafluoride and HFCs.

At a cost, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides may be removed from flue gases but Governments are committed also to reducing, or at least stabilizing, the level of carbon dioxide emissions in order to try to ward off global warming.

In Latin America, for example, the Government of Chile was helped to draft regulations on sulphur dioxide emissions, the country apos s largest source of pollution these regulations were later adopted.

Industrial processes sector emissions are only 1 per cent of total carbon dioxide emissions.

Emissions of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) dropped considerably from 1987 to 1992 as a result of reduced emissions from magnesium production.

Sulphur dioxide concentration above the ceiling provokes respiratory problems in the population, particularly chronic patients and children.

Large quantities of sulphur dioxide are emitted in the air because lubricants are in use for heating.

1 The World Health Organization recognizes six main types of air pollutants carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, tropospheric ozone and suspended particulate matter.

In 1999, world gross carbon dioxide emissions from coal usage were 8,666 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide typically accounts for 10 to 40 of emissions.

Less firewood is consumed, but carbon dioxide emissions have increased.

Projection and evaluation of carbon dioxide emissions in fiscal 2000

Solid fossil fuels are most frequently used for heating, which contain 2.5 4 per cent sulphur and which produce large quantities of sulphur dioxide and ash (20 30 per cent).

The following gases are included in the Norwegian inventory of emissions of greenhouse gases and biotic CO2 sinks carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), tetrafluoromethane (CF4), hexafluoroethane (C2F6), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and HFCs.

Depending on the sulphur content in the ore, the presently released sulphur dioxide concentration ranges from 1 to 8 per cent, or from 1,000 to 1,500 tons per day of sulphuric acid monohydrates.

Reducing carbon dioxide emissions must be tackled as a matter of urgency.

For carbon dioxide, these emissions are 713 GgC and 944 GgC respectively.

Carbon dioxide emissions from energy production and use (282 million tonnes) dominate.

First, even if carbon dioxide emissions stopped today, global warming would continue.

In the Federation there is no single detection system for basic indicators of air pollution, either sulphur dioxide or floating particles.

But and here comes the real hit carbon dioxide emissions grew seventeen fold.

As for carbon dioxide emissions from waste, two municipal waste scenarios were compared.

Within the energy sector, the main source of carbon dioxide emissions is energy transformation industries producing 160 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.

Sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by the LUCF sector in most Parties offset the GHG emissions originating from this sector.

We have begun work to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and are developing a comprehensive strategy for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions.

Total carbon dioxide emissions for 1990 from all sectors amounted to 420 million tonnes.

3 The anthropogenically produced greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) nitrous oxide (N2O) hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).

Sulphur burns.

The citizens of Bor as well as the population of the nearby villages have been affected, because sulphur dioxide damages agricultural crops and forests.

In other words, the world can combine economic growth with declining emissions of carbon dioxide.

Transportation emissions are close behind, contributing about one third of U.S. production of carbon dioxide.

This design lowers the emissions of both nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

8. ITALY National Plans for Stabilizing Emissions of Carbon Dioxide by 2000 at 1990 levels

Japan intends to maintain measures in step with world opinion to curb carbon dioxide emissions.

The average annual concentration of sulphur dioxide does not vary a lot by location, but an increase of gas emissions from motor vehicles goes along with increased traffic density, which is the main reason for the move from air quality class I to class II.

Over the last three years the sulphur dioxide level is not expected to increase over 100 micrograms per cubic metre in Sarajevo, Zenica and Kakanj.

Industry is responsible for 43 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel.9

In these plans, limitations of greenhouse gas emissions, notably carbon dioxide, were introduced as explicit targets.

The government is also urging manufacturers to set their own objectives for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

In terms of carbon dioxide equivalents, methane emissions at 131 million tonnes accounted for about 23 per cent of total emissions of 572 million tonnes.
