Medical emergencies involving nitrous oxide or laughing gas are on the rise. That’s according to the State Department of ...

If inhaling directly from tanks or crackers (a handheld device used to ‘crack’ a nitrous oxide bulb/whippet), the gas is intensely cold (minus 40 degrees Celsius) and can cause frostbite to the nose, ...

Michigan health officials report a dramatic increase in emergency incidents relating to the recreational use of nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas." ...

New data from the Michigan Poison and Drug Information Center says recreational use of nitrous oxide has risen drastically ...

Zinc oxide is a skin protectant used in sunscreen and creams to heal irritated skin. It's considered a safe ingredient to ...

Therefore, improved catalysts are needed to limit the emissions of harmful pollutants. The main technology of selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides uses ammonia as a reducing agent. Thus, ...

This requires the development of catalytic materials that can reduce the toxic nitrogen oxides efficiently at low temperatures. Researchers at the Department of Physics at Chalmers University of ...

When this ammonia is fixed by bacteria or during nitrification, reactive avatar and oxygen form a melange of compounds: Nitric oxide (NO), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrate (NO3).

Researchers are hoping to start measuring nitrous oxide emissions over hundreds of kilometres near Yorkton, Sask., with the goal of reducing greenhouse gases. Nitrogen fertilizer is an ...
