But carbonic oxide, which is also liberated from burning anthracite, is an active poison, and one per cent of it in the air we breathe may prove instantly fatal.
Within a few minutes after starting the dynamo, a stream of carbonic oxide issued through the openings, burning usually with a flame eighteen inches in height.
Secondary porosity development (alarmingly called decompaction!) is thought to result from carbonate solution by carbonic acid formed by decarboxylation during early stage hydrocarbon generation.
Representative proteins that use catalytic zinc ions are carboxypeptidases, carbonic anhydrase, and alcohol dehydrogenase.
During this period microbial activity is at its lowest because of low soil temperatures and therefore the production of carbonic acid is likely at its minimum.
Out of that number there have been 233 cases in which it was found that there were twelve volumes of carbonic oxide in the air.
I do not like imbibing carbonic acid gas, either in mineral waters or in anything else.
Another thing is carbon dioxide, which is what we used to call carbonic acid gas, and it is very unpleasant.
