Welcome to Take A Hike where we will inform about Nitrogen Oxide and How Nitrogen Oxide effects the Respiratory System.

What is Nitrogen Oxide?

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is one of the many profoundly receptive gases known as oxides of nitrogen or nitrogen oxides (NOx). Other nitrogen oxides incorporate nitrous corrosive and nitric corrosive. NO2 is utilized as the pointer for the bigger gathering of nitrogen oxides.

NO2 is principally produced from the consuming of fuel. NO2 shapes from emissions from vehicles, trucks and transports, control plants, and rough terrain hardware.

Why is it Harmful?

High grouping of NO2 can aggravate aviation routes in the human respiratory framework. Such exposures over brief periods can disturb respiratory ailments, especially asthma, prompting respiratory side effects, (for example, wheezing or trouble breathing), clinic affirmations and visits to emergency rooms. Longer exposures to raised centralizations of NO2 may add to the advancement of asthma and possibly increment weakness to respiratory diseases. Individuals with asthma, especially children, are at more of a risk to the serious hazard that is NO2 exposure.

NO2 alongside other NOx gases are harmful when breathed in, and risk consequences of the respiratory framework. Air pollution is a major problem in New York City, and other major urban centers around the world.
