TLDR
In this paper, the ozone depletion potential-weighted anthropogenic emissions of N2O with those of other ozone-depleting substances were compared, and it was shown that N 2O emission currently is the single most important ozone-destroying emission and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century.Abstract:
By comparing the ozone depletion potential-weighted anthropogenic emissions of N2O with those of other ozone-depleting substances, we show that N2O emission currently is the single most important ozone-depleting emission and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century. N2O is unregulated by the Montreal Protocol. Limiting future N2O emissions would enhance the recovery of the ozone layer from its depleted state and would also reduce the anthropogenic forcing of the climate system, representing a win-win for both ozone and climate.read more

Nitric oxide and nitrous oxide emissions from a full-scale activated sludge anaerobic/anoxic/oxic process
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used online NO and N 2 O analyzers to investigate spatial and temporal variations of NO and n 2 O emissions in a full-scale activated sludge anaerobic/anoxic/oxic (A 2 /O) process over one year.

Antibiotic Effects on Microbial Communities Responsible for Denitrification and N2O Production in Grassland Soils
TL;DR: It is indicated that the introduction of antibiotics to agroecosystems may promote higher N2O production due to the inhibitory effects on nosZ-II-carrying communities.
