Question

How does nitrous oxide affect the greenhouse effect?

Answer 1

How might it affect the environment?

Nitrous oxide does not have a local environmental impact. On a global scale however it does contribute to global warming and is the third most important greenhouse gas in the UK. Although relatively small amounts are released, it has a high "global warming potential" (310 times that of carbon dioxide). Nitrous oxide also damages the ozone layer, thus reducing the protection offered from harmful UV sun rays.

Answer 2

Hey mate!

I am here with your answer!


Nitrous oxide enhances the greenhouse effectjust as carbon dioxide does by capturing reradiated infrared radiation from the Earth's surface and subsequently warming the troposphere (lower atmosphere). ... The atmospheric nitrous oxide concentration has been growing due to human activities.
