Nylon: Sheer havoc
Two scientists trying to decipher the chemistry of global warming point provocatively toward the mass production of stockings and other nylon products as a factor. Their calculations, detailed in the Feb. 22 SCIENCE, provide the firmest evidence yet that humans are responsible for a significant fraction of the nitrous oxide entering the atmosphere.
Nitrous oxide, released as a by-product of nylon manufacturing, contributes to the destruction of stratospheric ozone and is a powerful greenhouse gas. Chemists Mark H. Thiemens and William C. ...
