... Since the sinuses produce significant amounts of nitrous oxide (NO) gas, the researchers measured NO levels in the nasal pathways of 10 healthy subjects. The researchers found that the NO levels in the nostrils increased 15 times during periods of humming compared to times of normal, quiet exhalation.

The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powered buses also emitted much less particulate matter than diesel buses, but emitted troubling quantities of methane and formaldehyde.
