[65] A greenhouse effect (prevention of loss of infrared energy) is only an issue (and a trivial one, at that, relative to other sources such as fertilizer) with nitrous oxide. Its high MAC (i.e ...

However, nitrous oxide is also a potent greenhouse gas ... and subsequent atmospheric effects should be further explored in more detailed models. For now, Ravishankara and colleagues have set ...

A study performed at Michigan Medicine reveals that the use of less polluting inhaled anesthetic agents reduced harmful emissions by 50% in one year without impacting patient safety or outcomes.

Emissions of nitrous oxide—a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide or methane—continued unabated between 1980 and 2020, a year when more than 10 million metric tons flowed into the atmosphere ...

Most everyone is familiar with carbon dioxide (CO2), but methane and nitrous oxide are considerable contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are more cost-effective to reduce. To further ...

TOXICITY from nitrous oxide has been assumed to be entirely the effect of associated reduction of oxygen tension. Goldman, 1 in 1928, reported the intermittent administration of nitrous oxide to ...

Iowa’s farmlands are hotbeds for greenhouse gases, with nitrous oxide accounting for 59% of agricultural emissions in 2022.

Nitrous oxide is a gas that can be inhaled to create short-lived psychoactive effects, such as euphoria, dissociation, and hallucinations. In Aotearoa New Zealand, it is illegal to sell ...
