...increase because of their region's heavy dependence on foreign oil. "The $3 import tax would have a disastrous effect on Minnesota," said Anderson. "One-half of our fuel comes from Canada, and from 60% to 80% of the state heats homes with heating oil. The price of nitrogen fertilizer would increase by $16 a ton. So the price of food is bound to go up. The whole program is counterproductive...
Photochemical oxidants, Johnson said, are formed by unburned gasoline reacting with oxygen and nitrogen in the air, often far from automobile exhausts...
...objective of the impact analysis was to evaluate the maximum carbon monoxide levels which could arise as a consequence of both adverse meteorological conditions and peak roadway traffic. Although motor vehicles are also major contributors to community nitrogen oxides and reactive hydrocarbon emissions, these species participate in a series of complex photochemical reactions for which the current atmospheric diffusion modeling technology does not permit preparation of reliable estimates of projected concentration levels. Therefore, emphasis was placed principally on carbon monoxide concentration levels as this pollutant is relatively inert. In addition, carbon monoxide is the pollutant emitted in the largest quantities...
...prevent the bends, the formation of nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream, which occurs when deep-sea divers ascend too rapidly...
...especially in the underdeveloped countries. Fertilizer was in short supply, and its price started to climb. Then came the devastating impact of the quadrupling of the market price of petroleum by the cartel of oil-possessing nations. Higher oil prices meant added costs for the farmer: pesticides, herbicides and nitrogen-based fertilizers are derived from petroleum, while the manufacture of all fertilizer requires much energy. The world price of nitrogen fertilizer jumped from...
