EnvidataID, Semarang – Here are several types of substances that cause the formation of greenhouse gases that we need to know:

1. Carbon Dioxide
   Carbon dioxide is obtained from the combustion of fuel oil and the like. Under normal circumstances, carbon dioxide is not dangerous. However, this substance can threaten the earth’s atmosphere if used excessively.
2. Sulfur Dioxide
   Sulfur dioxide can be found in coal and petroleum. Combustion that produces sulfur dioxide has the potential to cause global warming.
3. Nitrogen Oxide
   The reaction between nitrogen and oxygen will produce nitrogen oxide. Areas with high traffic density trigger the emergence of air pollution from nitrogen oxide.
4. Methane
   Methane gas is a product of natural gas, petroleum, organic waste decomposition, and is produced by livestock such as cows. Although it is capable of producing large amounts of energy, methane gas also has the potential to harm the environment. Therefore, this gas is one of the substances that triggers the greenhouse effect.
5. Chlorofluorocarbons
   Chlorofluorocarbons are also one of the substances that cause the formation of greenhouse gases. With wise use, this gas is safe because it is not flammable and non-toxic. Chlorofluorocarbons come from air conditioners, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, cleaning fluids, and perfume sprays. Through the Montreal Protocol, chlorofluorocarbons have begun to be gradually discontinued. This is due to the thinning of the ozone layer due to excessive use of Chlorofluorocarbons. High levels of Chlorofluorocarbon gas cause the temperature on the earth’s surface to increase sharply.
