Extensive studies have been conducted in the past decades to predict the environmental abiotic and biotic redox fate of nitroaromatic and nitramine explosives. However, surprisingly little information is available on one-electron standard reduction potentials (Eo(R-NO2/R-NO2-)). The Eo(R-NO2/R-NO2-) is an essential thermodynamic parameter for predicting the rate and extent of reductive transfor...

Surface NO2 volume mixing ratio (VMR) at a specific time (13:45 Local time) (NO2 VMRST) and monthly mean surface NO2 VMR (NO2 VMRM) are estimated for the first time using three regression models with Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) data in four metropolitan cities in South Korea: Seoul, Gyeonggi, Daejeon, and Gwangju. Relationships between the surface NO2 VMR obtained from in situ measurement...

Alkoxy (R1C(R2)(R3)O•) and Carbonyl (RC(•)O) radicals are important intermediates in the degradation chain of hydrocarbons. Both classes of radicals are subject to competing reaction chan-nels leading to different products which exhibit different ozone formation potentials: Alkoxy radicals (1) Reaction with O2 (kO2, => aldehyde/ketone + HO2); (2) thermal decomposition (kdis, => aldehyde/ketone ...

The current study discussed Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) concentrations in AlTaneem, Makkah, Saudi Arabia during the period from 1 September 2015 to 31 October 2015. The study showed that the mean concentrations of CO and NO2 were 0.347 (0.162 – 0.545 mg/m) and 33.4 (16.3 – 53.1 μg/m), respectively. These levels were lower than PME standards (10 mg/m and 660 μg/m for CO and N...

Air pollution is a major global public health problem. The situation most severe in low- and middle-income countries, where control measures monitoring systems are largely lacking. Data to quantify the exposure air low-income settings scarce. In this study, land use regression models (LUR) were developed predict outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration study area of Western Region Birth Coh...

Exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) has been linked to increased mortality in several epidemiological studies but the question remains of whether NO2 is directly responsible for the health effects or is only an indicator of other pollutants, including particulate matter. The aim of the present review was to provide pooled estimates of the long-term effects of NO2 on mortality, which are ...

Experimental results, such as NO2 hydrolysis and the hypergolicity of hydrazine/nitrogen tetroxide pair, have been interpreted in terms of NO2 dimers. Such interpretations are complicated by the possibility of several forms for the dimer: symmetric N2O4, cis-ONO-NO2, and trans-ONO-NO2. Quantum mechanical (QM) studies of these systems are complicated by the large resonance energy in NO2 which ch...
