Abstract Very fast reactions of forming higher nitrogen oxides set out an equilibrium framework for the course of the reaction of nitrogen monoxide oxidation. The slow course of reaction of nitrogen monoxide with oxygen permanently violates the created equilibria. In particular, the equilibrium of the oxidation reaction of nitrogen monoxide with nitrogen dioxide. The contribution of this reaction to the transformation of nitrogen monoxide in the conditions of nitrogen trioxide removal from the gas phase was estimated.

<p>Nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) and nitrogen monoxide (NO) govern the photochemical processes in the troposphere. Although nitrogen oxides have been measured for decades, their quantification remains challenging. The MetNO2 (Metrology for Nitrogen Dioxide) project of the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) aims to improve the accuracy of NO<sub>2</sub> measurements.</p><p>In total 15 instruments were intercompared at the World Calibration Centre for nitrogen oxides (WCC-NOx) in Jülich in autumn 2019 within the project. In addition to chemiluminescence detectors (CLD), the instruments encompassed Quantum Cascade Laser Absorption Spectrometers (QCLAS), Iterative CAvity-enhanced Differential optical absorption spectrometers (ICAD) and Cavity Attenuated Phase Shift (CAPS) spectrometers.</p><p>During the campaign, air from a gas phase titration unit, air from the environmental chamber SAPHIR or outside air was provided to the instruments via a common inlet line. The participants calibrated their instruments prior and after the campaign with their own calibration procedures. During the campaign, the common inlet line was used for daily calibration to compare standards, calibration techniques and sensitivity drifts of the instruments. NO<sub>2</sub> for calibration was provided either by gas phase titration from NO, from permeation tubes or from gas mixtures produced within the MetNO2 project.</p><p>It was observed that measurements by chemiluminescence or CAPS instruments are prone to interferences from humidity and ozone. However, in most cases data can be corrected. Alkyl nitrates and reactive alkenes were also observed to cause interferences in some instruments, while isobutyl nitrite was found to be photolyzed by photolytic converters.</p><p>Finally, measurements in ambient air were compared. The nitrogen oxide observations were accompanied with measurements of hydroxyl radical (OH) reactivity and reactive nitrogen species as nitrous acid (HONO), dinitrogen pentoxide (N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>), and chloryl nitrate (ClNO<sub>2</sub>). Detailed results of the intercomparison will be presented.</p>

Introduction: Air pollution occurs when the concentration of certain substances (pollutants) reaches a size which causes its toxicity, or in other words, begins to cause harm to human health, fl ora and wildlife.Methods: Measurements were performed in the period from 2005 to 2010, at the measuring point Bjelave-Sarajevo by the method of Griess-Saltzmann. It encompasses the following parameters: NO, NO2, NOx, measured concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere reduced to normal atmospheric conditions of 293 K (Kelvin) and pressure of 101.3 kPa (kilopascal).Results: NO concentration in the period from 2005 to 2008 was above the permitted value, but the results of research in the period between 2009 and 2010, have shown that there was a decrease in NO concentration in the atmosphere. Measurements show that the concentration of this pollutant is currently declining, which is a positive result compared to the pollution of the atmosphere by nitrogen monoxide. Furthermore, the results of the research showed that the concentration of NO2 for the period of 2005 to 2010, is in the limited values, and that has a decreasing trend, which is also a positive result compared to the pollution of the atmosphere by nitrogen dioxide. Related to the total concentration of NOx in the atmosphere, the results of the research show that their representation corresponds to the limit values existing in the Rulebook on limit values for air quality.Conclusion: The results of the research for the pollution of the atmosphere by nitrogen oxides in the investigated area show that the amount of nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere is in constant decline.

The reaction of benzene and nitrogen dioxide to produce nitrobenzene has been studied in the liquid and gas phases, in the dark, and with irradiation by light of 439 mμ and of 366 mμ. The concentration of NO2 in the liquid was varied from 0.08 to 1.6 moles/1 and in the gas from 0.0035 to 0.053 moles/1. No nitrobenzene was produced under any conditions in the liquid phase. Nitrobenzene is produced in the gas phase at high NO2 concentrations with irradiation by 366 mμ light. The quantum yield is 0.2. At 439 mμ the quantum yield is not more than 0.02. There is a very small dark reaction. As the concentration of NO2 in the gas is reduced the yield of nitrobenzene falls off very rapidly and is zero at the lowest concentration used, both in dark and light.
