  2. Ozone–oxygen cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone–oxygen_cycle

    Most of the ozone production occurs in the tropical upper stratosphere and mesosphere. The total mass of ozone produced per day over the globe is about 400 million metric tons. The global mass of ozone is relatively constant at about 3 billion metric tons, meaning the Sun produces about 12% of the ozone layer each day. [1]

  3. Ozone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone

    Essentially all UVC (100–280 nm) is blocked by dioxygen (at 100–200 nm) or by ozone (at 200–280 nm) in the atmosphere. The shorter portion of this band and even more energetic UV causes the formation of the ozone layer, when single oxygen atoms produced by UV photolysis of dioxygen (below 240 nm) react with more dioxygen. The ozone layer ...

  4. Nitrous oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide

    However, most problems associated with nitrous oxide come not from excessive power but from excessive pressure, since the gas builds up a much denser charge in the cylinder. The increased pressure and temperature can melt, crack, or warp the piston, valve, and cylinder head. Automotive-grade liquid nitrous oxide differs slightly from medical-grade.

  5. Ozone and biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_and_biology

    Ozone for dental application In dentistry as and antimicrobial agent and therapies including implantology, oral surgery, periodontology, oral medicine and the treament of caries. Ozone is used mainly in private dental practices and is open to poor implementation as the mechanism of action is not well enough understood to routinely use. [37]

  6. Dioxygen in biological reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxygen_in_biological...

    In all vertebrates, the heme group of hemoglobin binds most of the oxygen dissolved in the blood. In vertebrates , oxygen uptake is carried out by the following processes: Following inhalation into the lungs, oxygen diffuses through alveoli into the serum of the blood, where some remains in direct relation to the partial pressure of gasses in ...

  7. NOx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx

    Equation 4 relates the concentrations of NO x and ozone, and is known as the Leighton relationship. The time τ {\displaystyle \tau } that is needed to reach a steady state among NO x and ozone is dominated by reaction ( 3 ), which reverses reactions ( 1 )+( 2 ):

  8. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    Mean blood pressure drops over the whole circulation, although most of the fall occurs along the small arteries and arterioles. [35] Gravity affects blood pressure via hydrostatic forces (e.g., during standing), and valves in veins, breathing, and pumping from contraction of skeletal muscles also influence blood pressure in veins. [32]

  9. Blood gas tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_gas_tension

    Arterial blood carbon dioxide tension. P a CO 2 – Partial pressure of carbon dioxide at sea level in arterial blood is between 35 and 45 mmHg (4.7 and 6.0 kPa). [9] Venous blood carbon dioxide tension. P v CO 2 – Partial pressure of carbon dioxide at sea level in venous blood is between 40 and 50 mmHg (5.33 and 6.67 kPa). [9]
