nitrogen oxide emissions

Nitrogen oxide emissions, mainly nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), are gases produced when burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, especially at high temperatures such as in vehicles and power plants. These gases contribute to air pollution, smog formation, and acid rain. They can also harm respiratory health and reduce air quality. Controlling nitrogen oxide emissions involves using cleaner technologies, stricter regulations, and alternative energy sources to reduce their release and protect the environment and public health.
