Ozonation of blood during extracorporeal circulation I Rationale, methodology and preliminary studies
Bocci, V; Di Paolo, N; Garosi, G; Aldinucci, C; Borrelli, E; Valacchi, G; Cappelli, F; Guerri, L; Gavioli, G; Corradeschi, F; Rossi, R; Giannerini, F; Di Simplicio, P
1,999
We investigated whether exposure of blood ex-vivo to oxygen-ozone (O2-O3) through a gas exchanger is feasible and practical. We first evaluated the classical dialysis-type technique but we soon realized that semipermeable membranes are unsuitable because they are hydrophilic and vulnerable to O3. We therefore adopted a...

Do open-top chambers overestimate the effects of rising CO2 on plants? An analysis using spring wheat
Van Oijen, M; Schapendonk, AHCM; Jansen, MJH; Pot, CS; Maciorowski, R
1,999
#The microclimate in facilities for studying effects of elevated CO2 on crops differs from ambient conditions. Open-top chambers (OTCs) increase temperature by 1-3?C. If temperature and CO2 interact in their effect on crops, this would limit the value of OTC experiments. Furthermore, interaction of CO2 and temperature ...

1,999
Measurements of NO and NO2 are reported using a highly modified photofragmentation two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (PF-TP-LIF) instrument. Available evidence suggests that the changes made substantially reduced wall decomposition of labile NOy species. In sharp contrast to the results reported from NASA's 1991 PE...

Mechanism of the OH-initiated oxidation of methacrolein
Orlando, JJ; Tyndall, GS; Paulson, SE
1,999
The OH-initiated oxidation of methacrolein, a major product of isoprene oxidation, has been studied in an environmental chamber using FT-IR spectroscopy. Products observed (which account for more than 90% of the reacted carbon) were CO, CO2, hydroxyacetone, formaldehyde, and methacryloylperoxynitrate (MPAN). It is ...

1,999
Aircraft measurements of O3, NO, NO2, NOy, HCHO, and H2O2 over the Swiss Plateau during 4 days in July 1993 were analyzed. Special emphasis was put on the urban plume of Zurich. An effective photochemical age for an urban plume was introduced, which accounts for a background NOz concentration. Only the effective photoc...

1,999
The effect of increasing fossil fuel combustion in eastern Asia on surface O3 air pollution in the United States is examined with a global three-dimensional tropospheric chemistry model. Tripling of Asian anthropogenic emissions from 1985 to 2010 is expected to increase monthly mean O3 concentrations by 2-6 ppbv in the...

Ozone stress, carbon dioxide enrichment, and nitrogen fertility interactions in cotton
Heagle, AS; Miller, JE; Booker FL: Pursley, WA
1,999
Ozone (O(3)) in the troposphere can cause plant stress leading to foliar injury and suppressed growth and yield, whereas elevated CO(2) generally enhances growth and yield. Numerous studies have been performed to determine effects of O(3) and CO(2) separately, but relatively few have been performed to determine if O(3)...

Simulated effects of N deposition, ozone injury, and climate change on a forest stand in the San Bernardino Mountains
Arbaugh, MJ; Johnson, DW; Pulliam, WM

Gas-phase reaction of the OH-benzene adduct with O2: reversibility and secondary formation of HO2
Bohn, B; Zetzsch, C
1,999
The reaction of OH radicals with benzene and consecutive reactions of benzene-OH adducts with O-2 were studied in the gas phase in N-2-O-2 mixtures at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. OH was produced by pulsed 248 nm photolysis of H2O2. Time-resolved detection of both OH and benzene-OH adducts was performed b...

Flash photolysis-UV absorption and long pathlength FTIR-smog chamber studies of several reactions involving C6H5C(O) and C6H5C(O)O-2 radicals have been performed. It was determined that reaction of Cl atoms with C6H5CHO proceeds via abstraction of the aldehydic hydrogen to give benzoyl radicals. The sole atmospheric fa...
