These organic compounds are given up much higher than they would be found outside. Paint is a continuous process which releases chemicals as invisible paint pollution. Volatile organic compounds react with oxygen which leads to the bad ground level ozone layer. This all play a factor in the formation of smog which is known to having a dwelling effect on the human health as well as the environment. Smog effects the health and well-being of all living organisms. Plants and organisms that are effected

issue in world, as the threat it poses to mankind is evident. The rising sea level, ozone layer depletion and severe weather conditions are as a result of carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. Jason Bordoff in his article “Evaluating the Legality and Effectiveness of proposals to address competitiveness and leakage concerns” raised some policy concerns affecting the unilateral decision of a country to reduce carbon emission through tax. This memo will constructively discuss the author’s

that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. The causes of increasing greenhouse gases are: Burning fossil fuels, thus releasing into the atmosphere carbon that has been safely stored for millions of years by burning coal, oil and natural gas for transport and electricity. An enormous demand
