Nitrogen Oxides Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) is a group of reactive gases primarily composed of nitric oxide (NO), a colorless, odorless gas, and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), a reddish-brown gas with a pungent odour. NO forms during high-temperature combustion processes and reacts with oxygen or ozone in the air to create NO₂. NOx contributes to air pollution,…

Sulfur oxides
Sulfur oxides Sulfur oxides (SOx), primarily sulfur dioxide (SO₂), are gases produced mainly by burning fossil fuels and certain industrial processes. They contribute to air pollution, acid rain, and respiratory issues when released into the atmosphere and can react with water vapor to form sulfuric acid, damaging ecosystems and infrastructure.
