A lesser-known solution Friedman investigated early in his career involves identifying and measuring the chemical compounds in combustion and using that data to devise pollution-reduction technologies. “There are over a hundred chemical compounds that only exist at very high temperatures,” Friedman says. “They’re mostly nasty critters in tiny amounts, but we burn billions of tons of hydrocarbons, so it adds up.”
