氮(N)循环是一个复杂的生物地球化学过程,包括N的几种化学形式的转化。地球上生命对N的需求是显而易见的。然而,在整个不同的生物地球化学过程中,活性氮(Nr)物种的释放会导致大气污染。几种人类活动产生了许多物种,包括氨,一氧化二氮(N2O),一氧化氮,和硝酸盐。这种变化的主要原因是氮基肥料的使用,工业活动,和化石燃料的燃烧。N2O对地球上的环境可持续性构成重大威胁,其全球变暖潜力约为二氧化碳的298倍。它对环境有直接或间接的影响,农业生态系统,和地球上的人类生命。太阳能,水力发电,地热,必须使用风力涡轮机来减少Nr排放。此外,企业应安装催化转化器,以尽量减少氮气排放。为了减少Nr排放,需要像肥料平衡这样的战略干预措施。这项工作将为研究人员提供全面的指导,学者,和政策制定者。此外,它还将协助社会工作者向公众强调Nr问题,以提高全球社会的认识。
The nitrogen (N) cycle is an intricate biogeochemical process that encompasses the conversion of several chemical forms of N. Given its role in food production, the need for N for life on Earth is obvious. However, the release of reactive nitrogen (Nr) species throughout different biogeochemical processes contributes to atmospheric pollution. Several human activities generate many species, including ammonia, nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide, and nitrate. The primary reasons for this change are the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers, industrial activities, and the burning of fossil fuels. N2O poses a significant threat to environmental sustainability on our planet, with its global warming potential approximately 298 times greater than that of CO2. It has direct or indirect impacts on the environment, agroecosystem, and human life on earth. Solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and wind turbines must be used to reduce Nr emissions. In addition, enterprises should install catalytic converters to minimize nitrogen gas emissions. To reduce Nr emissions, strategic interventions like fertilizer balancing are needed. This work will serve as a comprehensive guide for researchers, academics, and policymakers. Additionally, it will also assist social workers in emphasizing the Nr issue to the public in order to raise awareness within worldwide society.
