Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are a group of gases composed of nitrogen and oxygen, primarily including nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). These compounds are significant air pollutants resulting from various sources, such as vehicle emissions, industrial processes, and combustion of fossil fuels. Their presence in the atmosphere contributes to the formation of smog and acid rain, making them a critical focus in air pollution control and management efforts.
