Air pollution is the presence of substances in the atmosphere that are harmful to humans and other living beings, or cause damage to the environment. Air pollution can be chemical, physical or biological. [1]
A more recent proposal uses a simple power equation, Toxicity Index (TI) = t 2 × P O 2 c, where t is time and c is the power term. This was derived from the chemical reactions producing reactive oxygen or nitrogen species, and has been shown to give good predictions for CNS toxicity with c = 6.8 and for pulmonary toxicity for c = 4.57.

Light pollution is the presence of anthropogenic artificial light in otherwise dark conditions. [12] [13] [14] [15]The term is most commonly used in relation to in the outdoor environment and surrounding, but is also used to refer to artificial light indoors.
It will be quicker to reach net-zero emissions for CO 2 alone rather than CO 2 plus other greenhouse gases like methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases. [22] The net-zero target date for non-CO 2 emissions is later partly because modellers assume that some of these emissions such as methane from farming are harder to phase out. [22]
