Cilia are thin hairs that prevent such particles from lodging in the tract. The charcoal granules in the compartmentalised Lark filter adsorb such gases as hydrogen, cyanide, formaldehyde, acrolein, and ammonia, which interfere with this process...

Then a special instrument will count the argon atoms by means of their radioactivity. Their number will be in direct proportion to the total number of neutrinos emitted...
