Ex vivo detection of recreational consumed nitrous oxide in exhaled breath.
Sci Rep

Dep. Oral Biochemistry, Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, 1081, LA, The Netherlands.
The increasing use of recreational nitrous oxide ([Formula: see text]O) in the Netherlands and its link to traffic accidents highlights the need for reliable detection methods for law enforcement. This study focused on ex vivo detection of [Formula: see text]O in exhaled breath and examining its persistence in the human body. Firstly, a low-cost portable infrared based detector was selected and validated to detect [Formula: see text]O in air.

Denitrification has been identified as a significant nitrate attenuation process in groundwater systems. Hence, accurate quantification of denitrification rates is consequently important for the better understanding and assessment of nitrate contamination of groundwater systems. There are, however, few studies that have investigated quantification of shallow groundwater denitrification rates using different analytical approaches or assuming different kinetic reaction models.

Introduction This report explores patient satisfaction in a dental sedation service in primary care for paediatric patients. The study explores different behavioural management techniques and additional supportive aids as adjuncts to inhalation sedation to improve patient satisfaction. Aim and objective To determine patient satisfaction with pre-assessment, treatment and aftercare in inhalation sedation services in primary care.

The riverine NO fluxes are assumed to linearly increase with nitrate loading. However, this linear relationship with a uniform EF is poorly constrained, which impedes the NO estimation and mitigation. Our meta-analysis discovered a universal NO emission baseline (EF = k/[NO ], k = 0.

Non-medical use of nitrous oxide (NO) is becoming increasingly popular globally, yet little data exists regarding NO in Aotearoa New Zealand. We aimed to explore patterns of use and harm in those who consume NO in Aotearoa, and related knowledge, perceptions and attitudes of those with and without NO experience. A convenience sample of people with NO experience ( = 466) and without ( = 510) completed an online survey about NO.
