But when the researchers put the material in a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, 600 times more carbon dioxide entered the framework than nitrogen. Charge is everything.

Silver patches and strands show nitrogen dioxide emissions, a gas produced by combustion that contributes to acid rain, haze, and lung problems. Those aren’t city lights.

Gas and propane stoves create NO2 when they heat the air so much that two atoms of oxygen combine with one atom of nitrogen. Electric stoves, which don’t get as hot, do not cause the same reaction.

Gas stoves may release dangerous amounts of nitrogen dioxide into homes, according to new research. Long-term exposure to NO₂ could be the cause of 19,000 U.S. deaths annually.

Research showed truck-related releases of nitrogen dioxide, which can cause asthma, concentrated around some 150,000 warehouses nationwide. Skip to content Skip to site index.
