Description
The nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2, collectively known as NOx) are among the major air pollutants monitored because of the risks they pose to human health and as indirect contributors to global climate change (Domine and Shepson 2002). They are ubiquitous products of combustion engines and other industrial processes, and are therefore typically considered to arise from anthropogenic sources, particularly at urban centers (NO2 is responsible for the orange smog seen over certain cities during and following rush hour traffic).
