Not exact matches

The holes in these inserts allow air to flow through the bumper, reducing the risk of carbon dioxide rebreathing which is thought to be a cause of SIDS.

Rebreathing exhaled carbon dioxide trapped near an infant's airway by bedding has been suggested as a possible mechanism for the occurrence of SIDS in at - risk infants and may occur with the use of soft bedding, covering the head during sleep, and use of the prone sleep position.9 - 12 Inadequate ventilation might facilitate pooling of carbon dioxide around a sleeping infant's mouth and nose and might increase the likelihood of rebreathing.13, 14 Increased movement of air in the room of a sleeping infant may potentially decrease the accumulation of carbon dioxide around the infant's nose and mouth and reduce the risk of rebreathing.10 A recent study15 showing a significantly reduced risk of SIDS associated with pacifier use further supports the importance of rebreathing as a risk factor for SIDS.

The air pockets in BreathableBaby mesh baby products help reduce the risk of suffocation and re-breathing carbon dioxide, allowing maximum air to flow.

A recent report found that high - speed rail in the Midwest would reduce air travel by 1.3 million trips and car travel by 5.1 million trips per year by 2020, saving 188,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions (equivalent to taking 34,000 cars off the road while still getting everyone to and from work).

If people reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they put in the air, then less will end up in the ocean.

But if people reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they put in the air, then less will end up in the ocean.

The logic is obvious: Green roofs can reduce the retention of heat in urban areas, help to cool down buildings and thereby lower their energy use, and even pull some carbon dioxide from the air and feed it back into plant growth.

Increasing wind generation to the levels of the Study Scenario simultaneously reduces carbon dioxide emissions, improves air quality resulting in lower levels of illness and premature loss of life, and reduces demand on water resources.

Also, as world consumption of natural gas growth, it's not unreasonable to believe that U.S. progress on reducing carbon dioxide emissions and air quality may be replicated in other countries.

The institute said that the E.P.A., invoking the Clean Air Act, and the Department of Transportation, using its regulatory power over fuel efficiency, could make major strides over the next decade in reducing carbon dioxide pollution.

Ideal gas which has no mass therefore no weight under gravity because there is nothing on which gravity can pull; which has no volume therefore does not expand or condense changing its weight under reduced and increased pressure or heat and cold and so does not become lighter or heavier than air under gravity; with no attraction therefore merely capable of bouncing off another and not capable of undergoing chemical changes, such as water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere forming carbonic acid.

For example, planting trees in urban areas sequesters carbon dioxide emissions while simultaneously reducing air pollution, beautifying the area, reducing energy use, and stifling noise, among other benefits.

Secondly, air capture, if it ever becomes practical, could gradually reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The failure to actually reduce global emissions has meant that all possibilities are now on the table, including some that sound like premises from a science - fiction novel: Humans could sequester carbon dioxide by removing it from the air through technologies that mimic trees, or we could spray water droplets in the lower atmosphere to reflect light and heat back to space, or we could seed sulfur aerosols in the stratosphere to do the same.

First, he spoke to a special committee convened by the American Physical Society to review possible ways of reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through so - called air capture, which means, essentially, scrubbing it from the sky.
