There are seven nitrogen oxides that can be found in ambient air. However, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are the two main nitrogen oxides associated with combustion sources.

=== '''Definition''' ===

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a reactive gas that is formed mainly by the oxidation of NO. It is involved in harmful reactions such as those leading to tropospheric ozone or nitric acid, and is therefore a pollutant in its own right as well as a precursor to other pollutants.
Under ambient conditions, both outdoors and indoors, nitrogen dioxide exists in gaseous form.

=== '''Predominant sources of emissions''' ===

The main indoor sources of this pollutant are fuel-burning cookers (wood, paraffin, natural gas, propane, etc.), fuel-burning heating systems (wood, oil, natural gas, etc.) and tobacco use.

=== '''Legislation and intervals''' ===

According to both the World Health Organization and DIRECTIVE 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe: The limit value for NO2 is 200 μg/m3 for 1 hour average and 40 μg/m3 on an annual average.
