biological amplification
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Increase in concentration of DDT, PCB, and other slowly degradable, fat-soluble chemicals in organisms at successively higher levels.
biological bioaccumulation
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Increase in concentration of DDT, PCB, and other slowly degradable, fat-soluble chemicals in organisms at successively higher levels.
enhanced greenhouse effect
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Increasing the concentration of the trace gases in the air that absorb thermal infrared light, i.e. greenhouse gases, will result in more infrared light redirected to the earth ...
anthropogenic forcing
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Influence exerted on a habitat or chemical environment by humans. This obliquely refers to the idea of managed environment as opposed to a wild or non-disturbed environment. The ...
radiosonde
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
Instrument designed in the 1930's to be carried into upper atmosphere via balloon to measure temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure; radio transmission is the means of ...
liquid petroleum gas (LPG)
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
A mixture of short hydrocarbons with most of the volume being propane and butane. LPG is considered an alternative fuel that burns cleaner than gasoline because of the very short ...
