NO2, is the lesser of the two emitted NOx
gases from high temperature combustion in air. It is an important species in the
atmosphere. Since it absorbs in the visible wavelength region--creating the
Brown Cloud see over Denver, LA, Mexico City, Beijing, etc.--and can be
photolyzed and yield oxygen atoms that can react with molecular oxygen to create
ozone, NO2 and the NO/NO2 ratio is important in
tropospheric chemistry.
