Humans Are Fueling Global Warming By Just Breathing, Study Claims
https://www.ndtv.com/science/humans...arming-by-just-breathing-study-claims-4680910
For the study, the researchers investigated emissions of methane and nitrous oxide in human breath from 104 adult volunteers in the UK.
Scientists in the United Kingdom have published new research that claims that humans are exhaling global warming-causing gases when they breathe. The study has been published in the journal PLOS One. Experts explained that methane and nitrous oxide in the air we exhale make up to 0.1% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions. So once you factor in the farts and burps being produced by humans, it becomes clear that humans are fueling global warming by just exhaling from lungs, scientists said.
The new study was led by Dr Nicholas Cowan from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh. In the paper, she said that the evidence of planet-killing breathing is pretty clear and it shouldn't be ignored. "We would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible," she said.
