According to Finlayson-Pitts, organic molecules such as hydrocarbons participate in a string of reactions involving hydroxide (OH) to eventually form nitrogen dioxide and ozone...
...only ozone-creating molecule generated by humans is nitric oxide, but the molecule must be first converted to nitrogen dioxide before it can form ozone...
...actually harmless, Zapol said. The researcher said the Environmental Protection Agency assured him that while nitrogen oxide's "daughter product," nitrogen dioxide, also present in pollutants, is poisonous, nitric oxide itself is not dangerous...
...estimates that every kilowatt-hour ofelectricity saved prevents the emission of 1.5pounds of carbon dioxide, 5.8 grams of sulfurdioxide, and 2.5 grams of nitrogen oxides. Thesethree gases comprise the bulk of air pollution
...mechanics and science behind Otisca are clear and simple. Its advantages in terms of transportation and use in various engines, including diesels and turbines, put it in direct competition with oil and gas. Coal's chief disadvantages are that it is bulky and dirty. Sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) have been indicted as principal villains in the formation of acid rain. More than half the nation's electricity is produced by power plants that burn coal. By running finely ground coal through a chemical bath (currently pentane, a hydrocarbon similar to butane), the Otisca process separates...
