Green House Effect
& Exposures in
Bangladesh
The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal
radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by
atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all
directions.

Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface,
energy is transferred to the surface and the lower
atmosphere.

As a result, the temperature there is higher than it would
be if direct heating by solar radiation were the only warming
mechanism.
The greenhouse effect is a warming near
the Earth's surface that results when the
Earth's atmosphere traps the sun's heat.
The atmosphere acts much like the glass
walls and roof of a greenhouse.
The greenhouse effect was
 discovered by Joseph Fourier in
 1824.

First reliably experimented on by
 John Tyndall in 1858.

First reported quantitatively by
 Svante Arrhenius in 1896.

• Human activities are enhancing the Greenhouse Effect,
  because we are continually adding heat-trapping greenhouse
  gases to the atmosphere by factory emissions, vehicle
  emissions, etc. Such gases include carbon dioxide, carbon
  monoxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane and ozone. The
  table on the next slide shows some examples of natural and
  man-made sources of some ‘Greenhouse Gases’.
