NOX

NOx refers to nitrogen oxides, primarily nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), which are gases produced during combustion processes, such as in vehicles and power plants. These emissions occur when nitrogen and oxygen in the air react under high temperatures. NOx gases contribute to environmental issues like smog, acid rain, and ground-level ozone, which can harm human health and ecosystems. Controlling NOx emissions involves technologies like catalytic converters and cleaner fuel use, aiming to reduce their release and mitigate their negative effects on air quality and the environment.
