Sources and sinks for atmospheric N2O
Observations of the temporal and spatial distribution of N,.O in solution are not yet sufficient topermit quantitative assessment of the role of the ocean in the budget of atmospheric N,.O. Consideration of the global nitrogen cycle suggests hat the land should be the primary source of N20. The gas is removed in the atmosphere by photolysis and by reaction with O(•D), and there may be additiona...
متن کاملBiological sources and sinks of nitrous oxide and strategies to mitigate emissions.
Nitrous oxide (N(2)O) is a powerful atmospheric greenhouse gas and cause of ozone layer depletion. Global emissions continue to rise. More than two-thirds of these emissions arise from bacterial and fungal denitrification and nitrification processes in soils, largely as a result of the application of nitrogenous fertilizers. This article summarizes the outcomes of an interdisciplinary meeting, ...
متن کاملNitrous Oxide (N2O)-Induced Acute Psychosis.
Nitrous oxide (N2O), commonly referred to as laughing gas, is a colourless, non-flammable, inorganic volatile with psychedelic effects. It has assorted uses among diverse fields: in medicine and dentistry, N2O provides a source of dissociative anaesthesia and analgesia; in the food and automobile industries, N2O serves as a propellant in whipped cream canisters and as an engine booster, respect...
متن کاملAtmospheric Fate of Biologically Produced Nitrous Oxide
■ Abstract The anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases and their consequent effects on global climate have garnered international attention for years. A remaining challenge facing scientists is to unambiguously quantify both sources and sinks of targeted gases. Microbiological metabolism accounts for the largest source of nitrous oxide (N2O), mostly due to global conversion of land for agr...
