Une réduction généralisée observée dans la lumière du soleil à la surface de la terre, qui varie considérablement selon les régions. La cause la plus probable de l'assombrissement global est une interaction entre la lumière du soleil et des particules d'aérosol microscopiques résultant des activités humaines. Dans certaines régions, comme l'Europe, l'assombrissement global n'est plus cas, grâce à des règlements de l'air pur.

Water pressure is the force that pushes water through pipes and determines the rate of flow from your taps. Water companies are required to provide water at a pressure that will reach the upper floors of houses, but where this is a problem, pressure can be improved using pumps. However, devices such as power showers, which use a pump to boost flow for a more powerful shower spray, also greatly increase the volume of water used and the energy required to heat it.

Озон је плин који се састоји од три атома кисеоника. Може да буде и штетан и користан, у зависности гдје се налази: близу земљине површине је загађивач који омета дисање; 10—50km од површине он служи као филтер потенцијално штетних ултра-љубичастих зрака (које проузрокују рак коже).

Può essere causato quando il vento scorre sopra gli ostacoli come alberi o edifici e ottiene 'sbattuto in su', quindi non ha più un flusso regolare.

In alcuni casi la loro base industriale crollato a tal punto negli anni novanta che essi non avranno difficoltà questi impegni.
