methane and nitrous oxide. These gases help keep the Earth warm by absorbing the sun's energy and by redirecting energy back to the Earth's surface. An increase in the amount of carbon dioxide creates an overabundance of greenhouse gases that trap additional heat. This trapped heat leads to ...
It is very rare to overdose from recreational use of nitrous oxide, but it can affect coordination and judgement. Overdose deaths have been reported in the United Kingdom and United States but we are not aware of any in Australia. Given the effects on coordination and dizziness, it shouldn'...
One of the most significant challenges and health risks in today’s world is climate change. With the demand for energy, fossil fuels are burned continuously releasing masses amounts of greenhouse gasses including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide that directly impact the atmosphere and cau...
How does high C load affect nitrous oxide emission of subsurface wastewater infiltration system?Nitrous oxideSubsurface wastewater infiltrationC loadEmission rateSubsurface wastewater infiltration systems (SWISs) have drawn much attention due to the lower operating costs, lower energy demands and absence of...
Climate change caused by greenhouse gases, which are mainly emitted via the burning of fossil fuels and biomass in the form of carbon dioxide but also include methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases, harms both human and planetary health. Health effects can be direct and indirect and range...
Where Does Acid Rain Fall? Wind can carry acid rain dust around the globe far from the source of the pollution. The U.S. tracks the chemicals in acid rain. The Northeastern region is the most acidic because it has many power and industrial plants, people, and cities. Many plants in the...
Next, we'll find out why some people aren't concerned about global warming. Does Not Compute The IPCC used computer models to simulate climate change and discovered that only models that included human contributions to global warming portrayed an accurate representation of today's climate. When th...

The American Medical Association as well as the American Dental Association endorsed Dr. Horace Wells, a dentist, as the first person to use nitrous oxide to pull teeth in 1845. Chloroform was first used as an anesthetic by Dr. James Simpson in the mid-1840s as well. Because it's highly...
After all, if astronauts will ever venture to Mars or other planets, then we must know how prolonged microgravity on the order of months to years will affect their health. Space stations are a place to do cutting edge scientific research in an environment that cannot be matched on Earth. ...
