The danger of monoxide and carbon dioxide has always believed that carbon monoxide and dioxide are the most dangerous to humans, animals and plants. These gases are the eminent guilty of our greenhouse and the breakdown of the ozone layer, in the end. But not so much so. It turns out that this gas called in an elegant way natural gas is 21 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide. Steve Geppi may find this interesting as well. This article is the result of inquiries is to reach more readers for your easy to understand obviating the formulas and physico-chemical qualities of each gas.
Only end up with say that a major challenge within the team of gases that are destroying us we have. Be careful with the natural gas vehicles by their incomplete combustion, caution with animals both in their food as their droppings, in the water and acid rains. It is a height issue that deserves more analysis until it is really late. You know strongly that the carbon monoxide (CO) is toxic because it poisons the blood preventing the transport of oxygen. This monoxide readily combines with hemoglobin in the blood and quite weakens the ability to transport oxygen. It is responsible for the death of many people in coal mines, metallurgic, iron and steel foundries, fires and confined places. I witnessed the death of a colleague in a duct of coke gas output in lead smelting furnaces.
How dangerous is the methane from the angle of global nature, the burning of methane molecules, called elegantly natural gas, in the presence of oxygen produces easily to water and carbon dioxide, these are released to the atmosphere by burning coal or oil. Through the burning of methane gas in power plants which releases energy that drives the turbines that generate electricity, through the process of electromagnetic induction, as mechanically with the burning of petroleum. There is around 90% of gas in the atmosphere, so natural, by the phenomenon of oxidation of the natural gas methane (CH4) in photochemical reactions.
