An Eye in the Sky — Tracking Ammonia Pollution From Space

Résumé

Ammonia is a chemical commonly found in fertilizers, cleaning products, and even animal waste. While this substance does have some important uses, rising emissions of ammonia in the atmosphere can pose serious risks to human health, plant and animal health, and the environment. Therefore, measuring and tracking ammonia levels in the air is crucial, especially as human activities, such as large-scale farming and industrial processes, release more and more ammonia. In this article, we will tell you about the main sources of ammonia pollution, the dangers it poses to health and the environment, and how scientists are using satellites to monitor ammonia levels from space. By keeping a close eye on ammonia trends, researchers hope to trigger ways to reduce emissions and protect the planet for future generations.
