Nitrogen dioxide » There are seven oxides of nitrogen that may be found in the ambient air. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas with significant anthropogenic sources contributing to its worldwide abundance (∼ 0.3 ppm). However, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are the two principal nitrogen oxides associated with combustion sources. Ambient concentrations of these two gases vary widely according to local sources and sinks, but can exceed a total concentration (NO + NO2) of 500 μg/m3 in dense urban areas. Nitrous acid (HONO) is a common pollutant in ambient and indoor environments, produced by the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with water. Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
