Nitrogen fertilizer also produces nitrous oxide, a more damaging greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Nitrogen fertilizer releases N < sub > 2 </ sub > O, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere after application.

Nitrogen triiodide is also notable for being the only known chemical explosive that detonates when exposed to alpha particles and nuclear fission products.

Nitrogen and phosphorus are key pollutants found in runoff, and they are applied to farmland in several ways:

Nitrogen narcosis.

Nitrogen and oxygen are about it ''.

Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions.

Nitrogen oxides start to form above and more nitrogen oxides are produced at higher temperatures.

Nitrogen does not take part in combustion, but at high temperatures, some nitrogen will be converted to NO < sub > x </ sub >, usually between 1 % and 0. 002 % ( 2 ppm ).

Nitrogen may also oxidize when there is an excess of oxygen.

* Nitrogen — to grow and reproduce more organisms to oxidize the carbon.

Nitrogen is particularly suspect in this regard, and may be causing measurable changes to the distribution and abundance of some Ericaceous species.

Nitrogen fixing bacteria either live symbiotically with plants, or live freely in the soil.

Nitrogen triiodide is so sensitive that it can be reliably detonated by exposure to alpha radiation ; it is the only explosive for which this is true.

Nitrogen gas ( N < sub > 2 </ sub >) at concentrations of 98 % or higher is also used effectively to kill insects in grain through hypoxia.

Nitrogen, the main constituent of air, is the primary gas released during flatulence, along with carbon dioxide.

Nitrogen ( ) is a chemical element with symbol N and atomic number 7.

Nitrogen is a common element in the universe, estimated at about seventh in total abundance in our galaxy and the Solar System.

Nitrogen resides in the chemical structure of almost all neurotransmitters, and is a defining component of alkaloids, biological molecules produced as secondary metabolites by many organisms.

Nitrogen is formally considered to have been discovered by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772, who called it noxious air or fixed air.

Nitrogen was also studied at about the same time by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, Henry Cavendish, and Joseph Priestley, who referred to it as burnt air or phlogisticated air.

Nitrogen compounds were well known during the Middle Ages.

Nitrogen gas is an industrial gas produced by the fractional distillation of liquid air, or by mechanical means using gaseous air ( i. e., pressurized reverse osmosis membrane or Pressure swing adsorption ).

Nitrogen is a nonmetal, with an electronegativity of 3. 04.

Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution Concerning the Control of Emissions of Nitrogen Oxides or Their Transboundary Fluxes, opened for signature on 31 October 1988 and entered into force on 14 February 1991, was to provide for the control or reduction of nitrogen oxides and their transboundary fluxes.

Nitrogen fixation, natural and synthetic, is essential for all forms of life because nitrogen is required to biosynthesize basic building blocks of plants, animals and other life forms, e. g., nucleotides for DNA and RNA and amino acids for proteins.

Nitrogen fixation occurs naturally in the air by means of lightning.

Although the Administration's program cut crop acreage to the lowest point since 1934, farmers, with the help of extra fertilizer and good weather, are getting such high yields per acre that many are being forced to buy new harvesting machines.

Most hydrogen is employed near its production site, with the two largest uses being fossil fuel processing ( e. g., hydrocracking ) and ammonia production, mostly for the fertilizer market.

In all, the truck rental cost about $ 250, the fertilizer less than $ 500, and the nitromethane $ 2, 780, with a cheap car being used as a getaway vehicle.

As well as being a leading global soybean exporter it is also involved in food processing, grain trading, and fertilizer.

It is also likely that contaminants were increased because the L-Tryptophan producing bacteria were being grown in an open vat in a fertilizer factory.

The mine tailings are presently being reprocessed into iron-rich Ironite fertilizer.

The 38 % ammonium nitrate, used as fertilizer and in high explosives, was manufactured in Nebraska and Iowa and shipped to Texas City by rail before being loaded on the Grandcamp.

Carp shot by freshwater spear fisherman typically end up being used as fertilizer, bait for trappers, or are occasionally donated to zoos.

The ancient oasis of rivers, lakes, reed marshes, forests and farms are drying up and being poisoned by wind-borne salt as well as fertilizer and pesticide residues from the dried bed of the Aral Sea.

Besides being a direct source of food, certain animals could provide leather, wool, hides, and fertilizer.

One of the most common yield reducers is because of fertilizer not being applied in slightly higher quantities during transition period, the time it takes the soil to rebuild its aggregates and organic matter.

Tenancy is diminishing as technological advances are made, and more fertilizer is being used.

The plant was built by Norsk Hydro and opened in 1911, its main purpose being to fix nitrogen for the production of fertilizer.

Initially fertilizer and seed were dropped together ( 1939 ), using a window mounted chute on a Miles Whitney Straight, but by the end of the 1940s different mixtures of fertilizer were being distributed from hoppers installed in war surplus Grumman Avengers and C-47 Dakotas, as well as some privately operated de Havilland Tiger Moths in New Zealand, and the practise was being adopted experimentally in Australia and the United Kingdom.

Her body was found fully clothed next to bags of fertilizer, and despite having been dead almost a month, there was little decomposition due to being in a cool, dry environment.

On 2 April 2009, it was reported that Morton Salt was being acquired by German fertilizer and salt company K + S for a total enterprise value of US $ 1. 7bn.

The early stages of the Special Period were defined by a general breakdown in transportation and agricultural sectors, fertilizer and pesticide stocks ( both of those being manufactured primarily from petroleum derivatives ), and widespread food shortages.
