AB Nitrogen  oxides  (nitric  oxide  and  nitrogen  dioxide,  notnitrous  oxide)  are  gases  commonly  released  from  nitrous  or  nitric  acid,  from  reactions  between  nitric  acid  and  organic  materials,  from  burning  of  nitrocellulose  and  many  other  products,  as  a  by-product  of  detonations,  and  as  a  breakdown  reactant  of  the  rocket  fuel  dinitrogen  tetroxide.  Exposure  to  nitrogen  oxides  occurs  in  electric  arc  welding  (especially  gas-shielded),  electroplating,  and  engraving.  Nitrogen  oxides  are  found  in  engine  exhaust,  and  they  are  produced  when  grain  with  a  high  nitrite  content  is  filled  into  storage  silos.  Nitric  oxide  used  as  a  therapeutic  agent  can  react  with  oxygen  (particularly  in  the  presence  of  hyperoxia)  to  form  nitrogen  dioxide  and  other  oxidants.
