Providing initial evidence that airport are a larger source of pollution than they were once believed to be, environmentalists in Chicago report that the total amount of pollutant emitted annually by vehicles at O'Hare International Airport is twice as much as that which is being emitted annually by all motor vehicles in the Chicago metropolitan area.
(3)If the noun in question is already anexplicitly numerical quantity, then you should useneither"much" nor "many". Instead, you should just use "twice" or "double" by itself. e.g.,twice the increase--> "increase" is an explicitly numerical quantity
(4)These rules are followed pretty closely. so, for instance: twice as much water--> correct, since "water" is an uncountable noun (but is not an explicitly numerical quantity) twice the water...--> incorrect, since water is not a numerical quantity twice as much as the increase...--> incorrect; redundant twice the increase...--> correct 我理解的意思是,twice如果直接加名词就只能加那些本身已经表示数值的词,
