Fish and other aquatic organisms survive in water because of DO. The amount of DO in water is affected by the water temperature, salt concentration, and atmospheric pressure, among other factors.

The absorption of light by organic molecules with chromophores contribute to the formation of brown carbon in the atmosphere, which can partially counteract the expected cooling effect of aerosols on ...

Oxygen began entering Earth's oceans around 2.32 billion years ago, and shallow seas followed within a few million years.

Experienced boiler operators know that oxygen can cause localized, severe corrosion in steam boiler systems through a process called oxygen pitting. This occurs when dissolved oxygen in the water ...

AbstractDissolved oxygen (O2) was measured with microelectrodes in shallow subsurface microsites in a prairie stream and related to rates of nitrification determined in the laboratory using the ...

Oxygen, it would seem, has an effect on the severity of hangovers. On March 1, a new study was published in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, an academic journal, and researchers ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 58, No. 4 (July 2013), pp. 1373-1386 (14 pages) A time series of the 17O excess (17Δ) was measured in the Gulf of Elat (Aqaba) between May 2007 and August 2009. 17Δ is ...

Salty water buried just beneath the Martian surface could have enough dissolved oxygen to support microbes, and perhaps even simple animal life such as sponges in some places, a new study suggests.

Dissolved oxygen meters are used to quantify the amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) in surface waters or at different stages of wastewater treatment. There are two dissolved oxygen meters in the ...
