Alkalosis is a condition in which the body fluids have excess base (alkali). This is the opposite of excess acid (acidosis). The kidneys and lungs maintain the proper balance (proper pH level) of chemicals called acids and bases in the body. Decreased carbon dioxide (an acid) level or increased bicarbonate (a base) level makes the body too alkaline, a condition called alkalosis.
By December 2010 the U.S. ethanol production industry consisted of 204 plants operating in 29 states, and 9 plants under construction or expansion, adding 560 million gallons of new capacity and bringing total U.S. installed capacity to 14.6 billion U.S. gallons (55.25 billion liters).
Most of the ethanol fuel produced in the U.S. is derived from corn (maize).13. A majority of the gas stations that offer fuel such as E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) are to be found in the Midwest âcorn-beltâ of the nation. Outside this region, it can be difficult to find E85 or other types of corn ethanol fuel for cars.14
