 ATSDR - MMG: Nitrogen Oxides
Nitrogen oxides are also formed during arc welding, electroplating, engraving, dynamite blasting, as components of rocket fuel, and nitration reactions such as in the production of nitro-explosives, including gun-cotton, dynamite and TNT.
Nitrogen dioxide is a corrosive substance that forms nitric and nitrous acids upon contact with water; it is more acutely toxic than nitric oxide, except at lethal concentrations when nitric oxide may kill more rapidly.Nitric oxide is a potent and rapid inducer of methemoglobinemia.
The diagnosis of acute nitrogen oxide toxicity is primarily based on respiratory symptoms and establishing a history of exposure to nitrogen oxides.

 Nitrogen, oxides of (EHC 4, 1977)
Nitrogen dioxide interferes with the lung's ability to remove inhaled deposited particles efficiently by altering the phagocytic, enzymatic, and functional processes of the alveolar macrophages and of the ciliated epithelial cells.
Oxides of nitrogen are usually classified in terms of the oxidation state of nitrogen (Table 1).
The observed percentage of nitric oxide in the total emission of oxides of nitrogen is 90-95% by volume although it depends on a number of factors and varies substantially from one source to another.

 Kyoto Protocol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The KYOTO PROTOCOL is being advertised as an international agreement to reduce the "threat" of greenhouse warming to the global climate.
As its framers and supporters phrase it, global warming is the "greatest challenge to human existence on this planet;" this conveniently ignores the challenges from nuclear war, terrorist attacks with biological and chemical weapons by rogue nations, and the perennial problem of poverty and social unrest.
By this criterion, the Kyoto Protocol is not meaningful.

Nitrous oxide was negative in three carcinogenicity assays in mice and rats exposed to concentrations as high as 400,000 ppm for 4 hours/day, 5 days/week for 78 weeks [ACGIH 1991].
At a concentration of 50 to 67 percent (500,000 to 670,000 ppm) nitrous oxide is used to induce anesthesia in humans [Rom 1992].
Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to nitrous oxide, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.

 Dáil Éireann - Volume 389 - 09 May, 1989 - Written Answers. - National Nitrogen Oxide Emissions.
Flynn): On 1 May 1989 Ireland signed a Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, commonly referred to as the Geneva Convention concerning the control of emissions of nitrogen oxides or their transboundary fluxes.
The principal requirement of the Protocol is the stabilisation by 31 December 1994, of national emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) at 1987 levels.
We are, however, committed to participating actively in the international fight against air pollution and, while nitrogen oxide emissions do not present an environmental problem here, action will be taken, in line with the Protocol, to stabilise these emissions and reduce them below the level they would reach on existing trends.

 Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Agriculture
This basic formula equating direct nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils to the N input multiplied by a conversion factor of 1.25 +/- 1.0 % was used in the Cole et al.
To account for the nitrous oxide in the inventory budget at this time the emission factor for fertilizers is used as default and the amount of N reentering cropped fields through crop residues is calculated from the FAO data concerning crop production.
This new approach to estimating nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural systems includes: (1) direct emissions of nitrous oxide from agricultural fields; (2) direct emissions of nitrous oxide in animal production systems and, (3) some of the indirect emission of nitrous oxide that are derived from N that originated from agricultural systems.

Nitrogen oxide emissions also fell during the same period (see also Figure 10.10), but to a lesser extent.
Total carbon dioxide emissions in the EU from all sources (including the use of energy) were the same in 1996 as in 1990 (see Figure 8.3).
Carbon dioxide emissions in the EU from the use of energy — the main source of this greenhouse gas — increased by nearly 1.5 % between 1990 and 1996.

 ECPR Standing Group on Green Politics - home
The comparatively long history of the changing politics of European air pollution is accessed through the diachronic and synchronic analysis of two of its components: the EU directive on National Emission Ceilings (NEC), adopted on June 22, 2000, and the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP).
The 1999 Gothenburg Protocol with its broader scope both in terms of substances and effects is singled out to exemplify the strengthening of policies within the CLRTAP.
Special attention is given to the specific processes during the 1980s within CLRTAP, namely the negotiations on a nitrogen oxide protocol that took place from 1985 to 1988, and the EU, namely the parallel negotiations on directives addressing emissions from large combustion plants that took place between 1984 and 1989/90.

 ACID RAIN. Free term papers for college, book reports and research papers. Welcome to EZ Term Papers
Once the sulfur and nitrogen oxides from these man made causes are released into the air they are caught by wind currents and are blown hundreds of miles away.
The gas pollutants drift along with clouds until the rain eventually converts the sulfuric dioxide into sulfuric acid, and the nitrogen oxide into nitric acid.
The newly transformed acid rain, acid snow or fog, falls to the earth where the effects on aquatic habitats, humans, animals, trees, crops, and other forms of plant life are devastating.
