Fatti e cifre sui gas serra metano e protossido di azoto

Il metano e il protossido di azoto sono gas serra prodotti da processi biochimici che avvengono anche negli ecosistemi naturali. Vengono generati anche nell’ambito della produzione agricola, che ne può aumentare notevolmente le emissioni. Ma che effetto hanno questi gas, come vengono prodotti e come si possono evitare?
