According to the American Lung Association, the Denver–Aurora area is the 14th most ozone-polluted area in the U.S. [65] The problem of high ozone levels is not new to this area. In 2004, the EPA allotted the Denver Metro /North Front Range [ b ] as non-attainment areas per 1997's 8-hour ozone standard, [ 66 ] but later deferred this status ...

Regular, hexagonal ice is also less dense than liquid water—upon freezing, the density of water decreases by about 9%. [36] [e] These peculiar effects are due to the highly directional bonding of water molecules via the hydrogen bonds: ice and liquid water at low temperature have comparatively low-density, low-energy open lattice structures.
Ozone cycle illustrated over image by NASA astronaut Scott Kelly. Ozone is a ubiquitous yet highly reactive molecule in the atmosphere. Such a highly reactive oxidizer would normally be dangerous to life but ozone's concentration at sea level is usually not high enough to be toxic.
Water is ~11% hydrogen by mass but ~67% hydrogen by atomic percent, and these numbers along with the complementary % numbers for oxygen in water, are the largest contributors to overall mass and atomic composition figures. Because of water content, the human body contains more oxygen by mass than any other element, but more hydrogen by atom ...
The ground state of O 2 has a bond length of 121 pm and a bond energy of 498 kJ/mol. [3] It is a colourless gas with a boiling point of −183 °C (90 K; −297 °F). [4] It can be condensed from air by cooling with liquid nitrogen, which has a boiling point of −196 °C (77 K; −321 °F).
In catabolism, water is used to break bonds in order to generate smaller molecules (e.g., glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids to be used for fuels for energy use or other purposes). Without water, these particular metabolic processes could not exist. Water is fundamental to both photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthetic cells use the sun ...
LIDAR is a common ground-based remote sensing technique that uses laser to measure ozone. The Tropospheric Ozone Lidar Network (TOLNet) is the network of ozone observing lidars across the United States. [18] Ozonesondes are a form of in situ, or local ozone measuring instruments. An ozonesonde is attached to a meteorological balloon, so that ...
