nitrogen oxides and fluorinated
gases are added together.
There are basically two types of lines, those produced by collisions between the atoms or ions and the electrons in the surrounding
gas, which are called collision lines, and which are very bright for elements such as oxygen,
nitrogen and neon, and lines which are produced
when ions capture free electrons, which are called recombination lines, and which are bright only for those
gases with the highest abundances in the interstellar medium: hydrogen and helium.
The pollutant that has declined the least is ozone, a hard - to - control noxious
gas formed
when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react with sunlight.
NOx
gases are produced in oxygen - poor soils
when microbes break apart
nitrogen compounds in the fertilizer, a process called denitrification.
When hydrocarbon - based fuels like methane are burned in normal air,
nitrogen gets mixed in with the combustion product — flue
gases from conventional
gas power stations contain as little as 3 percent CO2 — which makes scrubbing carbon from power plant emissions difficult and expensive.
The experimental SUV has hydraulic brakes that pump
nitrogen gas to pressures of up to 500 pounds per square inch
when the driver decelerates, essentially bottling up the vehicle's lost kinetic energy.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the process of manufacturing glass not only contributes its share of greenhouse
gas emissions but also generates
nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and tiny particulates that can damage lung tissue
when breathed in.
Only the methane
gas is detected (red),
when 0.2 liters per minute of methane are delivered via the green tube and 2 liters per minute of
nitrogen are delivered from the red tube.
The Calabash nebula (bottom left), illustrates what happens
when high - speed winds of stellar
gas (yellow) create shock waves as they ram into clouds of interstellar hydrogen and
nitrogen (blue).
When the star's ultraviolet radiation strikes the
gases in the nebula, they heat up, giving out radiation ranging in wavelength from blue — emitted by hot oxygen in the bubble near the star — to yellow — emitted by hot hydrogen and
nitrogen.
His Ford Fiesta ST rallycross car gives off baby - blue oxides of
nitrogen, and
when subjected to
gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, it registers scent compounds closely matching those of the wild Gladiolus orchidiflorus.

nitrogen gas is used to inflate tires under controlled conditions.
Just as there is no «33 °C warming by greenhouse
gases from the minus 18 °C it would be without them» —
when the real blanket which slows heat loss is reinstated — the heavy voluminous fluid ocean atmosphere of real
gas, mainly
nitrogen and oxygen, and
when the Water Cycle is reinstated.
But it's also the by - product of fossil fuel combustion, and
when a refinery or power plant reduces its greenhouse
gas emissions (by becoming more energy - efficient, for example), it also releases fewer smog - forming chemicals like
nitrogen oxides, less of the sulfur dioxide and soot that can irritate lungs and cause respiratory disease, and fewer toxic emissions linked to cancer and neurological disorders.
95 The case for crop - based biofuels was further undermined
when a team led by Paul Crutzen, a Nobel Prize — winning chemist at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany, concluded that emissions of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse
gas, from the synthetic
nitrogen fertilizer used to grow crops such as corn and rapeseed for biofuel production can negate any net reductions of CO2 emissions from replacing fossil fuels with biofuels, thus making biofuels a threat to climate stability.
When protons from the sun hit the atmosphere they break apart both water vapor and
nitrogen gas, which accounts for 78 percent of our atmosphere.
Among many low points, this may have reached its nadir
when a House member from Nebraska asked, smirkingly and out of the blue, whether
nitrogen should be banned — presumably to make the point that atmospheric
gases are all either harmless or outright beneficial, and hence, should not be regulated.
