Nitrogen oxides are readily released into the air mostly from chemical fertilizer and manure runoff, as well as fossil fuel emissions. This has lead to an excess of nitrogen oxides to be present in our environment, which serves as both a benefit and a hazard. In this article from Science Daily, researchers examine ways to reduce nitrogen pollution, whether through voluntary reduction efforts or the setting of standards. One interesting concern in this article is how to reduce the amount of nitrogen used to produce certain foods.
