nitrogen oxides emissions in the UK. Nitrogen oxides are a group of highly reactive gases including nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) as NO2 from road transportation in the United Kingdom were approximately 185,000 metric tons in 2021. Although this was an increase compared to 2020, emissions were still considerably lower than in previous years. Road transportation is the main source of Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from road transportation in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2021 (in 1,000 metric tons)
