| Abstract | Sustainability of life form on the earth is a major concern of every nation, which stems from the continued global warming trend, which has become a major policy, political, and economic issue. Global warming is the most important challenge thrown by the human activities largely due to rapid pace of industrialization in the twenty first century. The impact is likely to extend to next few centuries and unless controlled there would be irrevocable damage to the life form on this planet. Human made halocarbons have a high global warming potential, and some still have the potential to cause damage to the ozone layer as well if released to the atmosphere. The implications of global warming have far-reaching effects beyond the imagination of common person. Rise in global temperature, rise in sea level, food shortages, large scale spread of diseases & infections, catastrophic economic consequences and colossal loss of bio-diversity are some of the major implications of global warming trend. Although many methods are in vogue for comparison of impact of global warming of different compounds, yet the concept of Global warming potential with reference to Carbon dioxide is the simplest one and is widely used. An endeavor has been made in this paper to correlate and develop empirical relations of global warming potential and atmospheric lifetimes of Halocarbons. A new parameter Glife has been evolved for this purpose. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
