In addition to carbon dioxide (CO2), humans exhale nitrogen (N), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). The authors of the study said that both methane and nitrous oxide are global warming contributors. Dr. Cowan, the lead researcher behind this study, acknowledged that plants soak up the CO2 that humans exhale, but the other two culprits are not used in photosynthesis.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From The Daily Mail:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The new study was led by Dr Nicholas Cowan, an atmospheric physicist at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Exhaled human breath can contain small, elevated concentrations of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which contribute to global warming,&#8217; Dr Cowan and colleagues say.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>As most of us remember from science classes at school, humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n<p>When we inhale, air enters the lungs, and oxygen from that air moves to the blood, while carbon dioxide (CO2), a waste gas, moves from the blood to the lungs and is breathed out.<\/p>\n<p>With plants, it is the other way round; plants use CO2 to create oxygen as a by-product (the process known as photosynthesis).<\/p>\n<p>Every person breathes out CO2 when they exhale, but in their new study, the researchers focused on methane and nitrous oxide.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Daily Mail provides the rest of the global warming related story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-12859057\/Now-scientists-say-BREATHING-bad-environment-Gases-exhale-contribute-0-1-UKs-greenhouse-gas-emissions.html?ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490&amp;ito=social-twitter_mailonline\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study claims that humans are contributing to global warming simply through the breathing process. &hellip; <a title=\"Breathing contributes to global warming\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=150796\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Breathing contributes to global warming<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[98,13,271],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-150796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-global-warming","category-society","category-ygbsm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=150796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150796\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=150796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=150796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=150796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
