Abstract Title of Dissertation: EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF THE PRODUCTION OF NITROGEN OXIDES BY SIMULATED LIGHTNING SPARKS

Title of Dissertation: EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF THE PRODUCTION OF NITROGEN OXIDES BY SIMULATED LIGHTNING SPARKS Yujin Wang Doctor of Philosophy, 1998 Dissertation directed by: Alan DeSilva Professor Institute for Physical Science and Technology Department of Physics Lightning flashes have been simulated with arcs at ambient conditions. Each simulated flash consisted of a weakly ionized leader ch...

Indoor Nitrogen Oxides

Nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are gases produced by hightemperature combustion through reactions between nitrogen and oxygen. Both nitrogen in fuel and nitrogen in the air can participate in the reactions. Formation of NO can be followed by further oxidation into NO2 in the atmosphere. NO2 is the most toxic of the nitrogen oxides (grouped generically as NOx) and it is very i...

Control of Nitrogen Oxides

Nitrogen Oxides Induced Neurodegeneration as Examined by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Air pollutant gases include ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, organic compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and endotoxins, and metals [1]. Nitrogen is released during fuel combustion and combines with oxygen atoms in the atmosphere to produce nitric oxide and other nitrogen oxides, which can be inhaled by the upper res...
