Preparation of Carbon Monoxide in Synthetic Air at Ambient Level by Gravimetric Method and High Accuracy Determination by Gas Chromatography

Shuguo Hu
The atmospheric lifetime of CO varies from weeks to months depending on OH radical concentrations. CO itself does not directly contribute to the greenhouse effect, but the reaction of OH radical with CO controls the concentration distribution and variation in space and time of the other greenhouse gases...
