NOxheidet
NOxheidet is a neologism used in some Dutch-language discussions of atmospheric chemistry and environmental policy to denote an abstract property of nitrogen oxides that influences their behavior in atmospheric models. It is not a specific chemical species, but a modeling concept intended to capture the combined effects of reactivity, lifetime, and secondary formation potential of NOx under varying meteorological conditions.
Etymology and scope: The term blends NOx, the conventional shorthand for nitrogen oxides, with the Dutch suffix
Concept and usage: NOxheidet functions as a parameter or index within reduced-chemistry frameworks. It represents the
Applications and limitations: The concept is employed in urban air quality planning, policy scenario analysis, and
