Nitrogen oxides (NOx) refer to a group of gases composed of nitrogen and oxygen, primarily including nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitric oxide (NO). These gases are significant environmental pollutants, often formed during combustion processes and can lead to various harmful effects on both human health and the environment. Their presence in the atmosphere contributes to the formation of smog and acid rain, which have detrimental impacts on ecosystems and public health.
