If the theory that Rossi uses one of the Mills catalysts as his secret sauce: i.e. lithium and/or potassium, air contamination would form a nitride. This catalyst would act as a getter of nitrogen, the primary constituent of air being around 80% of its volume.
More generally, I believe that the Rossi reaction is really a reworked and reformatted Mills reaction. In point of fact, it is caused by Rydberg matter formation in contradiction to Mills thinking. Nitrogen is one of the elements that can produce Rydberg matter and would not therefore degrade the Rossi reaction. Since the Piantelli reaction does not use a Mills catalyst, nitrogen would degrade that reaction.
