Nitrogen Oxides or NOx
The generic term for various nitrogen emissions produced during combustion. Nitrogen oxides reportedly worsen asthma, react with oxygen in the air to produce ozone-which is also an irritant and pollutant.
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) - Gases consisting of one molecule of nitrogen and varying numbers of oxygen molecules.
nitrogen oxides - harmful gases (which contribute to acid rain and global warming) emitted as a byproduct of fossil fuel combustion.
noise pollution - environmental pollution made up of harmful or annoying noise.
Nitrogen Oxides
Polluting gases formed from nitrogen. They are produced when fossil fuels are burnt.
Oxygen
A gas that has no colour or smell. There is a lot of it in the atmosphere and vital for life.
Nitrogen oxides All oxides of nitrogen except nitrous oxide.
Particulate matter Any finely-divided airborne solid or liquid material with a diameter smaller than 100 micrometers while it is in the air.
Nitrogen Oxides - NOx (pronounced "nox") are produced from high temperature combustion in air. They are nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide (see above).
Nitrogen Oxides (NOX): Nitrogen compounds such as NO and NO2 produced by combustion. They help to from ozone and photochemical smog.
NO2: Nitrogen Dioxide

Nitrogen Oxides (NOX): Often mentioned in discussions of nitrogen-based air pollution as a reference to both nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) - A criteria air pollutant. Nitrogen oxides are produced from burning fuels, including gasoline and coal. Nitrogen oxides are smog formers, which react with volatile organic compounds to form smog.
Nitrogen Oxides (Oxides of Nitrogen, NOx): A general term pertaining to compounds of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and other oxides of nitrogen.
N nitrogen oxides
Definition (english only)
Nitrogen oxides refers to nitric oxide gas (NO) and nitrogen dioxide gas (NO2) and many other gaseous oxides containing nitrogen.
Acid Rain Rain or any form of precipitation of dilute solutions of strong mineral acids, created by the mixing in the atmosphere of pollutants, typically sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides compounds, ...
Criteria Pollutant -- Any air pollutant for which EPA has established a National Ambient Ait Quality Standard: carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulates and sulfur oxides.
Acid rain is a form of acid deposition in which sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) transform into acidic particles or vapors (such as sulphuric acid (H2SO4), ...
ACID RAIN Acid rain or "acid deposition" occurs when sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that are released into the atmosphere by industries, towns and cities, ...
Nitrogen oxides (NOx). Emissions are primarily in the form of NO, which is oxidised by ozone (O3) from nitric oxide (NO) to Nitrogen dioxide (NO2). NO2) is the primary concern for effects on health, ...
Acid Rain occurs when pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide from power plant emissions, metal smelting, motor vehicles and industry, combine with water in the atmosphere to form droplets of very weak acid.
Photochemical smog consists of oxidants caused by the reaction of sunlight on hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from vehicle and industrial emissions. The photochemical smog causes cause eye irritation, headaches, coughs and damage lung tissues.
The acid is the result of pollution caused mostly by sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides that are discharged into the atmosphere by industry.
The problem is that small engines emit disproportionately large amounts of carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides that contribute to smog.
Dry deposition: Emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides that, in the absence of water in the atmosphere (i.e., rain), settle to the ground as particulate matter.
denitrification
Reduction of nitrates to nitrites, nitrogen oxides or dinitrogen (N2) catalysed by facultative aerobic soil bacteria under anaerobic conditions.
The air coming out of a chimney after combustion in the burner it is venting. It can include nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, water vapour, sulphur oxides, particles and many chemical pollutants.
Flue Gas Desulphurisation ...
Precipitation containing harmful amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids formed primarily by nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned.
Acidic Soil ...

Acid Rain - The precipitation of dilute solutions of strong mineral acids, formed by the mixing in the atmosphere of various industrial pollutants (primarily sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) with naturally occurring oxygen and water vapor.
Air pollutants for which standards for safe levels of exposure have been set under the Clean Air Act. Current criteria pollutants are sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone and lead.
Cumulative impact ...
An alternative fuel for motor vehicles; considered one of the cleanest because of low hydrocarbon emissions and its vapors are relatively non-ozone producing. However, vehiles fueled wih CNG do emit a significant quanity of nitrogen oxides.
layer extending up 7 to 10 miles from the earth's surface and below the atratosphere), ozone is a chemical oxidant and major component of photochemical smog. Ozone in the troposphere is produced through complex chemical reactions of nitrogen oxides, ...
