Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements
- A rise in levels of Nitrogen Oxide is directly related to the increase of Methane levels in the atmosphere
- Methane has several times more warming power than carbon dioxide although short-lived comparatively
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Correct Nitrogen oxide (NOx) can impact methane levels. In the troposphere — the upper part of the atmosphere — NOx combines with ozone to form hydroxyl radicals. These radicals remove 85 per cent of methane annually from the atmosphere. Nitrogen oxide enters the atmosphere from exhaust gases of cars and trucks as well as electrical power generation plants. Thus during the lockdown, Nitrogen oxide pollution was reduced drastically increasing methane levels. Methane is short-lived, compared to carbon dioxide. Methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years of its lifetime in the atmosphere. Context – Low nitrogen oxide pollution and warming wetlands likely drove global methane emissions to record high levels in 2020, according to a new study.
