JEFFORDS/COLLINS/ LIEBERMAN INTRODUCE CLEAN POWER ACT_ Bill To Reduce Dangerous Power Plant Emissions » WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sens. Jim Jeffords, I – Vt., Susan Collins, R – Me., and Joseph I. Lieberman, D - Conn., today introduced bipartisan legislation to require power plants to reduce emissions that cause smog, acid rain, respiratory disease and premature death, mercury contamination and global warming. The legislation, “The Clean Power Act,” (S. 150) requires power plants to significantly reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and mercury. These pollutants cause death, disease, ecological degradation, birth defects, and increase the risk of abrupt and unwelcome climate changes. Jeffords, the ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said, “This bill, which is sponsored by 19 Senators from 12 states, representing more than 91 million Americans, will require power plants to reduce pollution faster and use 21st Century technology to clean our air. Fossil fuel power plants are the nation’s single largest source of air pollution and Epw.senate.gov

Partial Pressure Of Oxygen » Humans are highly aerobic organisms consuming oxygen per metabolic demand.[1] In aerobic respiration, oxygen and pyruvate produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), producing energy for the whole body.[2] To maintain homeostasis, there needs to be a gradient of pressure within the tissues that pushes oxygen by diffusion from the membranes into the tissues.[3] Many factors influence the amount of dissolved oxygen present within the cells and tissues, such as [4] Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
