A factory produces 1000 kg of a chemical pollutant. If the emission factor for this chemical is 0.5 kg per unit of product produced, how many units did the factory produce?
💡 Hint: Think about what each value represents in the context of emissions.
If an emission inventory for a city shows a total of 300 tons of SO2 emitted annually, and the emission factor for SO2 from coal combustion is known to be 0.1 tons per MWh, estimate how many MWh were generated using coal.
💡 Hint: Make sure to relate the emissions directly to the energy production.
