Annual emissions of NOx in the UK have fallen considerably in recent decades due to stricter regulations and the introduction of catalytic converters which reduce toxic gases from vehicle exhausts.
Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the United Kingdom totaled 702,400 metric tons in 2020. In this year, road transportation was responsible for 28 percent of total UK NOx emissions, while non-road transportation accounted for 13 percent.
