Estimating global nitrous oxide emissions by lichens and bryophytes with a process-based productivity model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Nitrous oxide is a strong greenhouse gas and atmospheric ozone-depleting agent which is largely emitted by soils. Recently, lichens and bryophytes have also been shown to release significant amounts of nitrous oxide.

Recovery profile of desflurane with air or nitrous oxide in patients undergoing general anesthesia – A prospective cohort study [PDF]
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical PharmacologyBackground and Aims: Desflurane helps in prompt awakening when discontinued. Since desflurane has a lesser blood: gas solubility than nitrous oxide, we hypothesized that use of air with desflurane would result in a rapid recovery compared to desflurane ...

Problematic Use of Nitrous Oxide by Young Moroccan–Dutch Adults
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 The recreational use of nitrous oxide (N2O; laughing gas) has largely expanded in recent years. Although incidental use of nitrous oxide hardly causes any health damage, problematic or heavy use of nitrous oxide can lead to serious adverse effects ...
