for the heart. A cigarette has many types of poisons‚ including carbon monoxide‚ hydrogen cyanide‚ tar and most of all‚ nicotine. Apart from that‚ there are many other poisonous ingredients of varying toxicity. Nicotine is addictive and affects the arteries in a negative manner. Heartbeat increases‚ hypertension occurs and arteries get constricted due to nicotine. Oxygen supply to the heart is stopped due to carbon monoxide. Blood clotting and clogging gets increased. In the case of coronary artery

carbon monoxide alarms Even if you don’t have a child having a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm in your home is possibly one of the most important things to own! Fire is the greatest cause of accidental death in the UK 46% of fatal accidents in children are caused by fire! Burns and smoke inhalation are extremely painful and the death of a child is more horrific than words can explain. If you rent your house it is the landlord’s legal responsibility to fit a fire alarm and a carbon monoxide alarm

The metal is‚ of course‚ oxidised to positive metal ions because it loses electrons. But nitrate ions are also easily reduced to products like nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. So metals reacting with nitric acid tend to give oxides of nitrogen rather than hydrogen. If the acid is relatively dilute‚ you tend to get nitrogen monoxide‚ although this immediately reacts with oxygen in the air to make brown nitrogen dioxide. Concentrated nitric acid gives

7-8 5. Reference 9 1 Introduction There are millions of cars on the road of Malaysia especially in Kuala Lumpur‚ main city of Malaysia. Each one is a source of air pollution in this country. The amount of pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide that all cars produce together can create a big problem to the air of Malaysia. For instance‚ air pollution can cause very serious disease to Malaysian‚ such as bronchitis‚ lung cancer‚ and heart disease. To solve those problems‚ cities‚ states‚

Nitric Acid Nitric acid is an acid many people have come across in life. One may have felt nitric acid when touching fertilizers‚ or using dyes. Nitric acid appears in substances we never thing it would be used in. In fact‚ small contents of nitric is acid is found in raindrops that fall from the sky. Nitric acid‚ or known as NHO3aq is an acid formed from reaction of ammonia and oxygen. Nitric acid is a colourless acid when it’s pure‚ or can be found yellow or red. This acid can be very corrosive

Tar is produces each time a charcoal used to heat tobacco. 2. Toxic substances such as carbon monoxide‚ carcinogens and heavy metals are greater in shisha smokes compare to cigarette. B. Carbon monoxide causes emphysema. 1. Emphysema occurs when air sacs or alveoli are expands with unwanted air. 2. Enlargement of alveoli destroys the walls resulting difficulty in oxygen and carbon monoxide interchange. 3. Emphysema obstructs normal airflows due to lesser elasticity of the

IV. MATERIALS AND METHODS Process Description The classical penicillin production process is an aerobic fermentation in fed batch fermenters made with some Penicillium strains‚ usually Penicillium chrysogenum (Nielson‚ 1997) that transforms substrates rich in carbohydrates into penicillin. As with other antibiotic production processes (Cunha et al.‚ 2002)‚ the penicillin process operated at antibiotics involves four stages. The incubation of the culture strain provides the seed that grows in

environment. As a car fuel ethanol is blended with petrol in different concentrations. In cars‚ carbon monoxide is produced from the incomplete combustion of petroleum. By adding ethanol which has 35% oxygen the combustion is more complete and there for reducing the amount of carbon monoxide. Within Australia‚ studies have shown that the effects of 10% ethanol have decreased the amount of carbon monoxide emissions. In Brazil 10% of the energy used is provided from ethanol. In car fuel the mix of ethanol

Products of the combustion of methane include carbon dioxide‚ water‚ soot and carbon monoxide. Soot and carbon monoxide are produced during the incomplete combustion of methane. Methane is combusted to generate energy in power plants‚ the formula for the combustion of methane is CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. Methane will combust and react more
