Letter to the editor: Nitric gases a problem in valley

Science News recently cited the University of California's Davis on air quality at San Joaquin Valley. Surprisingly, it shows that car emissions are decreasing, but farmland now increases its harmful emissions. Many fertilizers are currently in use and when it breaks down, it produces low levels of nitrate harmful to our respiratory system. Unfortunately, please avoid lowlands where cavitation is stagnant. Unfortunately, most of us live in this situation.

As a result, chronic cough and loss of immune system occur. I have never heard of this problem before reading scientific news. What is the remark of our Kern County Health Bureau? Is this problem researched and solved? We are waiting for new information.

Desulfurization is a process for removing sulfur dioxide that is injected directly into the flue gas. One or more of the one or more nitrogen gases is reduced by catalytic reduction in the presence of ammonia. Remove heavy metals with the help of activated carbon injection. The particles are collected in a filter. Soot and bottom ash are produced by waste treatment and accumulate at the bottom of the incineration plant. The ash produced is between 4% and 5% of the total weight of treated waste and flue ash is 10% to 20% of the total weight of the waste. Heavy metals contained in flue and bottom ash are lead, cadmium, zinc and copper. A small amount of furan and dioxin are also produced. Here, the bottom ash rarely contains heavy metals. Ash is dangerous and bottom ash is not dangerous or harmful to health

Acid rain is caused by the release of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide. These gases may be only slightly acidic in nature, but when they react with the atmosphere they produce acidic compounds such as sulfurous acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid and the like. It falls like rain, so it is called acid rain. In Europe and the United States, the stricter emissions regulations and the reduction of heavy industry reduced the environmental risks associated with this problem, and the emissions decreased after reaching a peak in the 1960s. Because coal contains more carbon than petroleum and natural gas fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of generated electricity increases. In 2010, coal accounted for approximately 81% of carbon dioxide emissions generated by power generation, accounting for approximately 45% of the US generated electricity.
