A Review of the Influence of Global Anthropogenic Activity on the State of Biosphere

Abstract

The current stage of the World is characterized by a very intense anthropogenic activity with the aim of providing energy for whole of humanity. The pollutants emitted as a result of anthropogenic activity accumulate in the atmosphere and some of them have a greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases lead to an increase in atmospheric temperature and as a result we have negative consequences on flora and fauna with frequent natural cataclysms (floods, drought, torrential rains, strong winds, spontaneous natural wildfires, etc.). The main purpose of the work is the systematization of the very recent current literature with the elaboration of the qualitative and quantitative description of the atmospheric state influenced by pollutants. It is found the following moment from this generalization that the increase in the concentration of pollutants of the atmosphere leads to the increase of the Albedo values of the unique complex Earth-Atmosphere system. The proportionality coefficient between the Albedo and concentration values contains the time interval required for combustion as well as the power of the solar flux and the specific heat of combustion of the fuels. The following fact can be found by the quantitative expression that when the fuels with a high specific heat of combustion are used, then the level of pollutants in the atmosphere is as minimal as possible with minimal negative effects on the flora and fauna.
