Chapter 46.2, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The greenhouse effect warms the Earth. Moreover, human activities are continuously increasing the levels of greenhouse effects. Due to this, the temperature of the Earth’s surface is increasing day by day. Right now, it is considered that the burning of fossil fuel is the reason for the increase in the greenhouse effect. The important greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, ozone, nitrous oxide, and methane.

Chemical processes are constantly occurring in the environment. Most are impacted by human activities. These impacts may be felt on a local scale, through the presence of air pollutants or toxic substances arising from a chemical waste site, or on a global scale, through depletion of stratospheric ozone, acid rain or global warming. Specifically, for the production of your medicine outline the chemical reactions and processes needed to produce and the environmental impact of that processing.
