  • Nevertheless, the use of sulfur to crosslink rubber during the vulcanization process may account for the carbon disulfide released from ground tire treads in laboratory experiments (Pos and Berresheim 1993). (cdc.gov)
  • Automotive tire wear has been suggested as a potential source of atmospheric carbon disulfide. (cdc.gov)
  • Currently, the largest single use of carbon disulfide is in the viscose rayon industry. (cdc.gov)
  • 1979). The largest nonpoint source of man-made levels of carbon disulfide results from its use in the laboratory and as a fumigant and from the degradation of rubber products (EPA 1975b). (cdc.gov)
  • Small amounts of carbon disulfide have also been detected in a landfill simulator (Vogt and Walsh 1985) and in the odoriferous emissions from a sewage treatment plant (Ruby et al. (cdc.gov)
  • Point sources of carbon disulfide include the biological degradation and incineration of wastes such as municipal refuse, sewage sludge, and industrial wastes (EPA 1975b). (cdc.gov)
  • According to TRI93 (1995), an estimated total of 93,271,722 pounds of carbon disulfide, amounting to 99.9% of the total environmental release, was discharged to the air from manufacturing and processing facilities in the United States in 1993 (TRI93 1995) (see Table 5-l). (cdc.gov)
  • Carbon disulfide has been measured in atmospheric samples collected during the major eruptions of Mount St. Helens. (cdc.gov)
  • In early July, the average daily rate of methane flux from the ponds in the Kinosheo Lake area was 20 mg CH4/m2/day, increasing to 50 mg CH4/m2/day by the end of the month. (umanitoba.ca)
  • Operationalizing a Global Carbon Observing and Analysis System ( www.geocarbon.net ) would provide a sound basis for monitoring actual carbon fluxes and thus getting quantities right when pricing carbon - be it in a cap-and-trade scheme or under a tax regime. (lu.se)
  • This project measures the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) released from the forest floor at the Straits Inclosure in Alice Holt Forest. (forestresearch.gov.uk)
  • This work supports our research into understanding forest carbon balances and the effects of woodland management. (forestresearch.gov.uk)
  • Daytime flux averages for one-hour periods, measured at 33, 68 and 329m above a landscape of mixed pine/hardwood, commercial pine forest, residential, pasture, and corn/soybean crops, were analyzed for the months of March, April and July. (confex.com)
  • The flux variation with height, sector and season is discussed qualitatively, related to rainfall and temperature and compared with fluxes above a nearby continuous pine forest. (confex.com)

  • Studying the carbon flux of forest soil gives an insight into an ecosystem as a whole and specific information about microbial activity and plant growth. (edinburghsensors.com)
  • This type of forest currently takes up carbon dioxide from the air and stores about one third of all the carbon situated in the land. (lu.se)
  • The aim is to explore possible effects of forest management on the carbon balance. (lu.se)
  • Studying forest recovery after wildfire is vital for understanding the net impact of the wildfire on the forest ecosystem and its carbon balance. (lu.se)
  • Our study suggests a cautious use of large-scale, multi-model ensembles to estimate C fluxes in agricultural sites if some site-specific plant and soil observations are available for model calibration. (nerc.ac.uk)
  • Carbon mass balance inputs (litterfall, woody growth, herbaceous growth, root growth, and surface accumulation) minus C outputs (surface litter and root decomposition, gaseous C) over a period of up to 11 years were 340-900 g C · m −2 · year −1 . (stroudcenter.org)

  • Inputs are shown as negative and outputs as positive, so that the net N flux , the sum or balance among all inputs and outputs, expresses the net export of nitrogen from the ecosystem. (lu.se)
  • Over the 2011 and 2012 drought-impacted regions, the reductions in NBP were ~40% of the regional annual fossil fuel emissions, underscoring the importance of quantifying natural carbon flux variability as part of an overall observing strategy. (nasa.gov)
  • Here, we evaluate monthly variability in the composition and abundance of carbon, nitrogen, and suspended sediment in the lower reaches of the Tocantins River from 2014-2016. (pnnl.gov)
  • Chronic warming will likely impact both ecosystem C fluxes and the abundance and distribution of plant functional types (PFTs) within systems, potentially interacting to create novel patterns of C exchange. (nau.edu)
