Air pollution is a mix of particles and gases that can reach harmful concentrations both outside and indoors. Its effects can range from higher disease risks to rising temperatures. Soot, smoke, mold, ...
Entry into CO2 technology will further contribute towards climate protection. CO2 (carbon dioxide) as a refrigerant – also known as R744 – is a naturally occurring gas with significantly lower ...
The commonly used R134a coolant has a global warming factor of 1,430, meaning that it traps 1,430 times more heat if released into the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. 1234Yf, however, has a rating ...

A research team from the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed a technology that will decompose refrigerants, through the use of industrial waste. Dr. Shin-Kun Ryi’s research team at ...
Sulfur dioxide molecules (red and yellow ... help lower energy consumption for air conditioning by engineering them to hold onto a large amount of refrigerant gases. The high attachment of this gas – ...
Why Nature Chemistry spells sulfur with an 'f'. Many decisions must be made when setting up a new scientific journal. These range from perhaps the more fundamental considerations, such as what ...
CHANNAHON, Ill. — Diversified CPC International, a producer and distributor of propellants, hydrocarbon refrigerants, and specialty gas products, has opened a processing plant in Beaumont, Texas. The ...
Most fugitive emissions are from refrigerants and natural gas, but they can also include greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride and nitrogen ...
