Oxygen Depletion
Facts - Stunning
From Environmental Scientist Jim Starry
9-1-6
* 10,000 Gallons of Oxygen are burned for EVERY GALLON OF FUEL used in an engine...a plane or a car, etc.
* 3 Million Gallons of jet fuel are used every DAY at O'hare.
Multiply that by 10,000 Gallons of Oxygen Burned PER GALLON of fuel.
The result: 3 BILLION Gallons of OXYGEN are burned per DAY at O'Hare International Airport.
The net result: 3 Billion Gallons of Oxygen-Depleted Air are created loaded with at least 147 types of toxins and pollutants.
_____
* One single large airliner uses more Oxygen per HOUR than all of the Earth's Six Billion people breathe during that entire hour.
There are approximately 2,700 Air Busses in flight today - more are on order - bringing the total soon to 4,300

* How Can A Single Gallon Of Gasoline Produce 20 Pounds Of Carbon Dioxide?
It seems impossible that a gallon of gasoline, which weighs about 6.3 pounds, could produce 20 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned. However, most of the weight of the CO2 doesn't come from the gasoline itself, but the oxygen in the air.
When gasoline burns, the carbon and hydrogen separate. The hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water (H2O), and carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2).
A carbon atom has a weight of 12, and each oxygen atom has a weight of 16, giving each single molecule of CO2 an atomic weight of 44 (12 from carbon and 32 from oxygen).
Therefore, to calculate the amount of CO2 produced from a gallon of gasoline, the weight of the carbon in the gasoline is multiplied by 44/12 or 3.7.
Since gasoline is about 87% carbon and 13% hydrogen by weight, the carbon in a gallon of gasoline weighs 5.5 pounds (6.3 lbs. x .87).
We can then multiply the weight of the carbon (5.5 pounds) by 3.7, which equals 20 pounds of CO2!
