NOx comprises several gases, but of primary concern are Nitric Oxide (NO) and Nitrogen Dioxide, together NOx. NOx emissions are harmful to the environment and to human health. Illnesses related to air pollution cost the UK £20 billion annually. Reports estimate that around 40,000 deaths each year are attributable air pollution.
