Human activity such as burning coal and oil releasing high concentrations of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere does contribute to global warming. However, there are also natural contributors to climate change such as solar activity, changes in Earth's...
Elevated concentrations of acid (acidosis) or base (alkalosis) have negative effects on the structure and function of biological systems. Regulatory strategies in organisms attempt to keep things as neutral as possible. In Humans, blood pH ranges between...
Nitrogen is a powerful greenhouse gas that traps heat much more effectively than carbon dioxide. The many uses of nitrogen in human activity –such as farming –have released huge quantities of nitrogen into the atmosphere and disrupted the nitrogen...
