Anthropogenic Emissions

Anthropogenic emissions refer to the greenhouse gases and pollutants released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities. Common sources include burning fossil fuels for energy, industrial processes, agriculture, and deforestation. These emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, contribute to climate change and environmental degradation. By altering the natural balance of gases in the air, anthropogenic emissions have significant impacts on global warming, air quality, and overall ecosystem health. Reducing these emissions is essential for mitigating climate change and promoting a sustainable environment.
