NOxkaasut

NOxkaasut, also known as nitrogen oxides, are a group of highly reactive gases that are primarily composed of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). These compounds are significant pollutants in the atmosphere, primarily resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels in internal combustion engines, power plants, and other industrial processes. NOx emissions contribute to the formation of smog, acid rain, and ozone depletion in the stratosphere. They also have adverse health effects, including respiratory issues and increased susceptibility to infections. To mitigate these impacts, various technologies and regulations have been implemented to reduce NOx emissions, such as catalytic converters, selective catalytic reduction, and emission standards for vehicles and industrial equipment. Understanding and managing NOx emissions are crucial for environmental protection and public health.
