Nitrogen Oxides:
What are Nitrogen Oxides:
Nitrogen Oxides are gases that are composed of nitrogen and oxygen. Two of the most toxicologically significant of the nitrogen oxides are nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide . Nitrogen oxides are released into the air from the exhaust of motor vehicles, the burning of coal, oil or natural gas, and during processes such as arc welding, electroplating, engraving, and dynamite blasting. Concentrations also increase by burn...
