Huisgen’s reaction of alkynes with Ozone (O 3 ), at its first step yielding carboxylic acids functional groups is, undoubtedly, an example of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Cycloadditions of 1,3-dipoles may occur by concerted mechanisms. The energy content in alkynes may be increased further by bending the normally linear triple bond, as in the small cycloalkynes. The strain energy in the...

surface ozone (surface o3)is a secondary pollutant and there are only limited studies on ozone in south india. studies have revealed a strong correlation between higher ozone levels and warmer days. surface o3 along with its precursors like no2, co and ch4 are being measured at kanyakumari (8.0780° n, 77.5410° e), tamilnadu, india and in this paper we present the summer time variation of ozone ...

This study was initiated to explore the effects of ozone (O3) exposure on potted wheat roots and soil microbial community function. Three treatments were performed: (1) Air with daily averaged O3 concentration of 4–10 ppb (control situation, CK), (2) Air plus 8 h averaged O3 concentration of 76.1 ppb (O3-1), and (3) Air plus 8 h averaged O3 concentration of 118.8 ppb (O3-2). In treatments with ...

Ozone (O3) has attracted much attention because of its key role in human health and disease, and its detection is of great importance for various biochemical studies as well as environmental evaluation. Here we develop a simple and practical spectroscopic off-on O3 probe based on resorufin and the specific reaction of but-3-enyl with O3. The probe shows an extremely low background spectroscopic...

Ground-level ozone (O3) is a harmful air pollutant causing reduced crop yield and quality, reduced forest growth and negative effects on human health in large parts of the world. O3 is generally seen as a regional scale air pollution problem, but O3 concentration ([O3]) variation on a smaller geographical scale can be considerable. Knowledge of the size of this local scale variation and the und...

the nitrogen (n) nutrition, crop yield, and responses of wheat to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) were tested in an experimental field under free-air ozone concentration [o3] enrichment (face) conditions. the experiment included three treatments: ambient [o3] (ambient), elevated [o3] (face, targeted at ambient [o3]×1.5), and elevated [o3] inoculated with an amf consortium consisting of sever...

background: today, air pollution is one of the major problems in large cities including isfahan. methods: the objective of this study was to investigate the variations of ozone (o3), carbon monoxide (co), nitric oxide (no), nitrogen dioxide (no2), nitrogen oxides (nox), sulphur dioxide (so2), and particulate matter (pm10) concentrations in different months at three stations and also to explore ...
