However, nitric
oxide production produces adverse reactions and toxic metabolites, which must be neutralized by your body so they don't result in oxidative damage to your blood vessel lining (by peroxynitrite oxidation and nitration reactions).
Not exact matches
And a Nobel - prize winning chemist has publicized his findings that biofuels made from nitrogen - thirsty plants (like corn and canola) actually
produce a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions, because they release nitrous
oxide during their
production.
By 2015, they hope to be at full
production,
producing 18 million kilograms of various rare earth
oxides a year.
Because nitric
oxide breaks down very quickly, as soon as the chemical is no longer being
produced, the oxygen molecules are again trapped by the mitochondria and are not available for the
production of light.
Wang's research group designed a five - metal catalyst based on these high - entropy - alloy nanoparticles and demonstrated superior catalytic performance for selective oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen
oxide, a reaction used by the chemical industry to
produce nitric acid, an important chemical in the large - scale
production of fertilizers and other products.
Intense exercise also upregulates nitric
oxide production by 600 % which can further
produce reactive nitrogen species.
Natural gas is much more environmentally friendly than coal, which continues to be the mainstay of electricity
production around the world and in the U.K. Gas emits less than half the CO2 per kilowatt hour
produced, and it emits much lower amounts of other pollutants like nitrous
oxide, sulfur dioxide, black carbon, carbon monoxide, mercury, and particulates.
While most current hydrogen
production processes split hydrogen from natural gas — an inefficient technique that consumes energy and
produces greenhouse gases — Grimes» method would rely on thin films made of titanium iron
oxide nanotube arrays that could split water under natural light.
