Popis:	Apidic acid (AA) manufacture results in the production of ca. 1 mole of nitrous oxide (N2O) per mole of AA. Emissions of N2O by the AA industry currently account for about 5–8 percent of the worldwide anthropogenic N2O emissions (after accounting for N2O abated by some manufacturers). Even though this N2O does not make a major contribution to global warming and ozone depletion, major AA producers worldwide have agreed to substantially reduce these emissions by 1996–98. Producers have formed an inter-industry group to share information on technologies being developed for N2O control. Technology options being studied by DuPont (and by others) include thermal destruction, recycling, and catalytic decomposition.
