Aside from methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrous oxide, give two more examples of greenhouse gases. Describe the mechanics and illustrate how they impact on the atmosphere.
Why is carbon monoxide a dangerous air pollutant? How does it affect human health at low levels and at high levels?
Describe two ways that people can change their habits and choices to reduce their personal greenhouse gas emissions. In each case, be clear about how the change reduces emissions.
