 ScienceDaily: Concentrations Of Nitrous Oxide In The Central High Plains Aquifer Are Increasing
Science Daily — Nitrous oxide is an important atmospheric trace gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect and the destruction of ozone.
"The average concentration of nitrous oxide in water that recharged the aquifer since the 1950's is about twice as large as the average nitrous oxide concentration in water that recharged the aquifer prior to the 1950's," said Peter McMahon, U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist and lead author of the report.
Despite the increase in nitrous oxide concentrations in the central High Plains aquifer, the aquifer is not thought to be a significant source of atmospheric nitrous oxide at this time because most pumping wells in the study area remove the deeper water that is not enriched in nitrous oxide.
