CO2 Emissions Could Generate Noise Pollution in the Oceans
31 December 2009 | Green News | No Comments
Since CO2 emissions started to grow, researchers have begun to warn us of the seriousness of this process, using different scientific discoveries related to negative effects of carbon dioxide. Last days, some researchers at the University of Hawaii have discovered that along with the increasing level of CO2 emissions, increases the acidity of the oceans and seas too. When ocean acidity increases, sound-absorbing chemical reactions are reduced and that means the sound will spread in the water faster and noisier.
