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

Using 15N tracers to estimate N2O and N2 emissions from nitrification and denitrification in coastal plain wetlands under contrasting land-uses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a stable isotope tracer experiment to determine the contribution of nitrification and denitrification to N2O and dinitrogen (N2) fluxes in coastal plain wetlands, and determine the response of these processes to changing soil moisture.

Environmental Implications of Anesthetic Gases
Jeffrey S. Yasny,Jennifer White +1 more
TL;DR: For several decades, anesthetic gases have greatly enhanced the comfort and outcome for patients during surgery and the attention towards their overall contribution to global climate change and the environment has increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Isotopic Anatomies of Molecules and Minerals
TL;DR: Geochemical tools for stable isotope geochemistry as discussed by the authors have been developed to measure concentrations of rare isotopes without constraining differences in isotopic composition between different atomic sites or nonrandom probabilities of multiple isotopic substitutions in the same molecule.
