Frank, R.; Novak, K. M.

The report attempts to provide a base for analyzing health and environmental effects of nitrogen oxides. Chemical and physical properties of NO/sub 2/ and NO as well as secondary by-products (HNO/sub 3/, NO/sub 4/, nitrate aerosols, nitrosamines) are discussed. Principal sources, transport and deposition mechanisms, and measurement techniques are described. Evidence is presented supporting the argument that NO/sub x/ pose a threat to health. 51 references.
