Sentences with phrase «created nitrous»

This created nitrous acid up to 10 million times faster than had ever been observed before.

Aerosol chemist Markus Ammann of the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland, and his colleagues, suspected that soot particles — spewed when fossil fuels are burned — might have a hand in creating nitrous acid.

The application of fertilizers creates nitrous oxide.

Not exact matches

In addition, eliminating synthetic pesticides and fertilizers in regenerative organic agricultural systems directly reduce GHG emissions that normally come from creating these synthetics and from higher methane and nitrous oxide emissions due to management.

The major culprits are the nitrous oxide that comes from the manure created by large livestock operations, and the methane emitted in cow burps and farts.

A relatively tiny amount of nitrous oxide could have trapped enough of the Sun's energy inside ancient Earth's atmosphere to create warm surface conditions favourable to the evolution of life.

The non linear nature of forcing is related more to positive feedbacks and changes that are still being studied, such as cyclic changes in moisture content and regional dispersion, the methane cycles in the ocean or the potential of methane clathrate / hydrate release, and of course the race to feed more people on a planet which will inevitably add more nitrous oxide to the atmosphere and create more dead zones in the oceans, droughts, floods, fires, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria....

Ozone in the stratosphere protects earth from radiation (otherwise we would all be fried double quick) but in the troposphere it becomes a GHG, adding to the woes created by carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

Water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — the so - called greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the Earth's atmosphere - create a natural «greenhouse effect» by «trapping» heat between the Earth's surface and the Troposphere (the atmospheric layer 5 to 10 miles above the surface).

The longer wavelength (infrared) radiation created there is reflected upwards, and then is absorbed by clouds and the greenhouse gases (GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), etc.).

This created a qualitative transformation in Homo sapiens» impact on earth system trends: levels of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, stratospheric ozone, surface ocean temperature, ocean acidification, marine fish capture, coastal nitrogen, tropical forest depletion, land domestication and terrestrial biosphere degradation.

They come up with all kinds of hypothetical feedback mechanisms involving more natural aerosol emissions in response to global warming: Dimethylsulfide from marine phytoplankton (although a very intriguing possibility, this has never been confirmed to be a significant feedback mechanism, and there is ample evidence to the contrary, which is omitted from the report), biological aerosols (idem), carbonyl sulfide (idem), nitrous oxide (idem), and iodocompounds (idem), about which they write the following: «Iodocompounds — created by marine algae — function as cloud condensation nuclei, which help create new clouds that reflect more incoming solar radiation back to space and thereby cool the planet.»

Stanford reports that two of their engineers — one a rocket engineer who has spent five years creating thrusters that run on nitrous oxide and the other an expert in wastewater management — have created a design that can carve down the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment plants with «a new sewage treatment process that would actually increase the production of two greenhouse gases - nitrous oxide (aka, «laughing gas») and methane - and use the gases to power the treatment plant.»

For example, researchers at Stanford University came up with a smart way to cut the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment by taking advantage of the nitrous oxide (aka, «laughing gas») and methane created during treatment for powering the facilities.
