Annual and daily levels of the two major oxides of nitrogen (NOX), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are still rising in the atmosphere of the urban environment and in close proximity to automobile and airport traffic. Although oxides of nitrogen give rise to other phytotoxic pollutants such as ozone they are also in their own right damaging to plant health. This injury is not normally visible but is reflected in poorer growth and loss of productivity in terms of value and amenity. Few if any reviews have considered the effects of atmospheric concentrations of NOX as separate phytotoxic agents especially at the metabolic level. This paper is an attempt to remedy this deficiency and to promote an understanding of the problem.
在城市环境以及靠近汽车和机场交通的区域，大气中两种主要的氮氧化物，即一氧化氮（NO）和二氧化氮（NO₂）的年度和每日水平仍在上升。尽管氮氧化物会产生其他对植物有毒的污染物，如臭氧，但它们本身也会损害植物健康。这种损害通常肉眼不可见，但会反映在植物生长变差以及价值和舒适度方面的生产力损失上。几乎没有评论将大气中氮氧化物浓度作为单独的植物毒性剂的影响进行考量，尤其是在代谢层面。本文旨在弥补这一不足，并促进对该问题的理解。
