More Evidence Points to China as Source of Ozone-Depleting Gas

In 1987, the Montreal Protocol was passed worldwide to protect the ozone layer. The gas trichlorofluoromethane, or CFC-11 is among the gasses that are supposed to be limited in the atmosphere by this act. However, it appears that China is breaking this protocol by illegally producing it in rogue factories in the country. The ozone layer has been healing, but this breach could hurt it again. The China government says they will take action to stop this illegal production, and scientists are looking more into the effects this gas and others have on the environment. I think this is very scary, considering how powerful and big China is. If they are illegally producing CFC-11, who knows what other gases they are producing and what other world acts they are breaking.

    China putting out gases that depletes the ozone layer is not to supersizing because they produce most o the things fond in the world. or found in America.

    This could effect foreign relations with China, from smaller countries. I do not think China's relationship with the US or any larger nations will fluctuate, because of the heavy dependence on their economy.

    This is very alarming. I wonder what other countries are illegally producing gases that the Montreal Protocol limits.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
