  2. Soil gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_gas

    Soil gases (soil atmosphere [1]) are the gases found in the air space between soil components. The spaces between the solid soil particles, if they do not contain water, are filled with air. The primary soil gases are nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. [2] Oxygen is critical because it allows for respiration of both plant roots and soil ...

  3. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately. Blue type items have an article available by ...

  5. List of highly toxic gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highly_toxic_gases

    Highly Toxic: a gas that has a LC 50 in air of 200 ppm or less. [2] NFPA 704: Materials that, under emergency conditions, can cause serious or permanent injury are given a Health Hazard rating of 3. Their acute inhalation toxicity corresponds to those vapors or gases having LC 50 values greater than 1,000 ppm but less than or equal to 3,000 ppm ...

    Explosive (exploding bomb) Flammable (flame) Oxidizing (flame above a circle) Corrosive (corrosion of table and hand) Acute toxicity (skull and crossbones) Hazardous to environment (dead tree and fish) Health hazard/hazardous to the ozone layer (exclamation mark) Serious health hazard (cross on a human silhouette) Gas under pressure (gas cylinder)

  7. Soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil

    Soil texture and structure strongly affect soil porosity and gas diffusion. It is the total pore space of soil, not the pore size, and the degree of pore interconnection (or conversely pore sealing), together with water content, air turbulence and temperature, that determine the rate of diffusion of gases into and out of soil.

    Environmental regulators have found explosive levels of methane in a popular Berkeley park. Regulators and the city are sparring over the source of the gas and what to do about it.

  9. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

    The burning of a solid material may appear to lose weight if the mass of combustion gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapor) are not taken into account. The original mass of flammable material and the mass of the oxygen consumed (typically from the surrounding air) equals the mass of the flame products (ash, water, carbon dioxide, and ...
