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

A highly-robust solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC): simultaneous greenhouse gas treatment and clean energy generation
Tao Li,Mohamad F. Rabuni,Lisa Kleiminger,Bo Wang,Geoffrey H. Kelsall,Unalome Wetwatana Hartley,Kang Li +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, results of combined greenhouse gas treatment with clean energy conversion were reported for the first time, where multi-channel tubular SOFCs were operated with N2O instead of air as the oxidant leading to a 50% increase in power density.

Mechanism of action of nitrification inhibitors based on dimethylpyrazole: A matter of chelation.
Mario Corrochano-Monsalve,Carmen González-Murua,Adrián Bozal-Leorri,Luis Lezama,Beñat Artetxe +4 more
TL;DR: The mechanism of action of the commonly applied DMPP and the new DMP-based NI, 2-(3,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-succinic acid (DMPSA) is unveiled and the results show that DMP and DMPSA form complexes with copper (Cu2+) cations, an indispensable cofactor in the nitrification pathway.

Quartz Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy Based Trace Gas Sensors Using Different Quartz Tuning Forks
TL;DR: A sensitive trace gas sensor platform based on quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) is reported and the QEPAS sensor performance using the three different QTFs was experimentally investigated and theoretically analyzed.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that large-scale cultivation of microalgae (and possibly, natural eutrophic ecosystems) could have a significant environmental impact as N2 O is a potent greenhouse gas and an ozone-depleting pollutant.
