Radiation therapy plays a vital role in the treatment of more than 50% of all cancer cases. In low- and middle-income countries, much of the population lacks access to radiation therapy. An X-ray source such as used in a CT scanner will create a diverging beam of radiation,” Salehpour explained. Karger AG, Basel).

For example, methane stayed roughly flat for about a decade from the late 1990s, but has increased rapidly since then – by nearly 16 ppb in 2020 over 2019. For other gases, the GWP depends on two different properties of the gas: how strongly it absorbs infrared radiation; and how long it stays in the atmosphere after it is emitted.
