The objective of this study was to generate data that allow for estimation of the validity of oxygen saturation (SO2) values in superficial cortical capillaries as calculated by a microreflectometric system (EMPHO II). Capillary SO2 and tissue oxygen pressure (PtO2) were measured simultaneously in the cortex of n = 13 Wistar rats under normocapnic (PaCO2 = 36 mmHg) arterial normoxia (PaO2 = 92 ...

The heterogeneous oxidation of SO2 has been the subject of intense scrutiny in atmospheric chemistry because of the adverse effects of sulfate particles. Although it has been found that the soot particles with a graphene-like structure play an important role in the oxidation of SO2, little is known about the atomic-level mechanism involved. Here, we studied the oxidation of SO2 on oxygen-functi...

Sulfur dioxide (SO2), a gaseous signaling molecule in animal cells, has recently been found to play a physiological role in plants. Here we studied the role of SO2 in gibberellic acid (GA3)-induced programmed cell death (PCD) in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) aleurone layers. The application of the SO2 donor (NaHSO3/Na2SO3, 1:3 M/M) effectively alleviated PCD in barley aleurone layers in a dose-de...

A new concept of desulfurization was developed by designing a series of electrochemical reactions to drive an SO2 absorption-and-conversion process in aqueous solution, hence the SO2 in gas was eventually converted to a valuable chemical of NaHSO4. A model experiment of chemically substantiating this concept includes two steps: (I) absorption of SO2 gas by aqueous solution and oxidation of the ...

BACKGROUND Many studies have examined the association between air pollutants (including sulfur dioxide [SO2], carbon monoxide [CO], nitrogen dioxide [NO2], nitric oxide [NO], ozone [O3], and particulate matter < 10 μm [PM10]) and lung cancer. However, data from previous studies on pathological cell types were limited, especially for SO2 exposure. We aimed to explore the association between SO2 ...

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a problematic inhalable air pollutant in areas of widespread industrialization, not only in the United States but also in countries undergoing rapid industrialization, such as China, and it can be a potential trigger factor for asthma exacerbations. It is known that asthmatics are sensitive to the effects of SO2; however, the basis of this enhanced sensitivity remains in...

The prediction of regional sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission of thermal power belongs to gray system which has small amounts of samples and little information, so a appropriate forecasting method is essential. Based on thermal power industry SO2 emission data from state department authorities, considering the main factors of China's thermal power industry SO2 predicted emission, we established a co...
