PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST XD.
The major types of emissions from the greenhouse gases released by people’s simple everyday activities are:
Carbon dioxide (54%) Carbon dioxide is the leading culprit of greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide not only contributes over half of the atmospheric pollution creating climate change, but is the easiest gas emission culprit to avoid. Carbon dioxide is absorbed naturally in the environment but an increasing amount of carbon dioxide is being emitted each day, making the atmosphere full of excess CO2.Methane (30%) Methane is second to carbon dioxide in the amount of release into the environment, however, at 30%, methane is a far higher concern than the next in line at 9.8%. Methane is just as detrimental to the environment and worthy of concern as carbon dioxide. Methane (CH4) is created and emitted by humans and natural activities.
There is more methane in our world’s atmosphere now than in the past 800,000 years! This number has risen to an incredibly high amount in large part due to the human extraction of fossil fuels which releases large quantities of methane. Wetlands and agricultural expenditures all emit methane as well.Other Gases (9.8%) Water vapor and Tropospheric ozone (O3) are considered other gases. Also considered “other gases” are manufactured gases that are fluorinated. Called “F-gases”, this category of gases are used for purposes that include refrigeration (industrial as well as residential air conditioning), fire extinguishers and aerosol propellants. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), are all considered to be F-gases.
F-gases are a bit more difficult to pronounce and remember as we go about our daily activities. One can easily recall carbon dioxide and methane as pollutants, but many of the F-gases are disregarded. Another reason for disregard of these atmospheric dangers is their seemingly low impact on the environment. At less than ten percent of the total pollution in the atmosphere, other gases may rank lower on the scale for environmental groups to focus on.

Methane, carbon dioxide and CFSs( Chlorofluorocarbons) are the greenhouse gases
