quantidade de dióxido de carbono ( e outros gases do efeito estufa).


Explanation:
Sug.

Creio ser isto : quantidade de dióxido de carbono e outros gases do efeito estufa.

- A carbon footprint is a "measure of the impact that human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide".
- The carbon footprint is a measure of the exclusive global amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted by a human activity or accumulated over the full life cycle of a product or service (see Wiedmann and Minx, 2008).
