Increasing Radiation Load In Stream Sediments [The study also analyzed samples downstream from outfalls of wastewater treatment plants that treat leachate from landfills accepting oil and gas waste. Sanitary landfills are those designed to let waste decompose; they are not necessarily designed to manage radioactive waste. “A

Useful Environmental Law Terms. Greenhouse gas : A group of gases known to be responsible for increasing the “greenhouse effect” - that is, gases that absorb infrared radiation and increase atmospheric density. Ozone layer : A protective layer of gas in the upper atmosphere that absorbs the sun's must harmful radiation.

For other gases, the GWP depends on two different properties of the gas: how strongly it absorbs infrared radiation; and how long it stays in the atmosphere after it is emitted. Human-source atmospheric methane now adds slightly less than 1 watt per square meter (W/m 2 ) of radiative forcing, versus 1.7 W/m 2 from elevated CO 2.
