Nitrogen Oxides

Nitrogen oxides can be produced naturally, for example via the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen gases in air during a forest fire or lightning strike. In urban areas, nitrogen oxides are most commonly produced through fuel combustion, such as automobile exhaust and power plant emissions.

Nitrogen oxides can be harmful to the environment through the formation of smog and acid rain. High levels of NO_x can also make vegetation more susceptible to disease and frost damage. The potential impacts of NO_x on human health include lung tissue damage and a range of respiratory problems.

Aeroqual offers both a fixed or portable NO_x sensor, with options to measure air continuously and in real-time. Check pollution hotspots, meet all local regulations, protect workers and the community, and make informed decisions using the latest in cutting-edge sensor technology.

Gas-sensitive semiconductor (GSE) NO_x sensors are susceptible to cross-interference from ozone (O₃) when measuring outdoor air. Aeroqual has developed a new 0-0.5 ppm nitrogen oxide (NO_x) sensor featuring a thermal scrubber that removes the effect of ambient ozone.
