Emissions any substances that are released into air from natural or human sources. This may include flow of gases, liquid droplets, as well as solid particles. It is important to understand that not all emissions are pollutants, even though they may cause significant health and environmental problems. The United States as well as China has faced significant emissions across the countries, which has led to various problems and challenges (Paulot et al., 2014).
Transportation: Basically, about 27% emissions in U.S are from transportation. The major sources of the emissions come for burning fossil fuel for cars, trucks, plains, as well as trains. Over 90 percent of the fuel that is used from the country is petroleum based which includes gasoline …show more content…
Electricity has been found as a major contributor of green gas emissions. About 67% of the electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas. Coal is known as a major contributor of carbon II oxide, which has become a major challenge across the country. Another source of emission comes from industries. This comes from fossil fuel for energy and emissions from various chemicals that produce goods for raw materials.
Agricultural activities: About 9% of emission comes from cultivation of crops and livestock for food. Various management practices for agricultural soils contribute to production emissions of nitrous oxide. Fertilizers are major contributor of nitrous oxide, which has contributed to soil pollution. In addition, livestock produces methane as part of their digestion. The management of manure has also contributed to CH4 and N2O emissions. It has been noted that about 21% of the total emissions comes from agriculture sector in the United States (CIA. …show more content…
However, China has a high energy using up as compared to U.S due the various major industries found in the country. It has become clear that in most of the countries, fuel sources come from burning of fossil fuel and emissions. For example, no any country, that does not have an industry. The fact is that the emissions that come from the industries are all the same as they all contribute to an increased carbon II oxide in the air. All, each countries definitely have vehicles to cater transportation. The emissions of the exhaustion have resulted to increase carbon in the air, which has contributed to pollution York et al.,
