Samuel Witter developed an oxygen inhalation protocol in response to carbon monoxide poisoning in 1814. [9] Similarly, an oxygen inhalation protocol was recommend for malaria (literally translated to "bad air") in 1830 based on malaria symptoms aligning with carbon monoxide poisoning. [9] Other oxygen protocols emerged in the late 1800s. [10]
Scientists have built a breakthrough device that can clean dirty water and turn it into clean hydrogen fuel. As such, scientists believe that it could help solve two problems at once: making green ...
Water can get into diesel fuel as a result of condensation, rainwater penetration or adsorption from the air — modern biodiesel is especially hygroscopic. The presence of water then encourages microbial growth which either occurs at the interface between the oil and water or on the tank walls, depending on whether the microbes need oxygen.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and FBI are investigating the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump hotel in Vegas, that left 1 dead.
