Because only temperature and heat are needed to form NOx, even lightning strikes form the compounds.  NOx emissions from industrial facilities like power plants are regulated, as are the emissions from vehicles. <\/p>\n<p>The level of regulation depends on the regulatory agency and the requirements of the area; more densely populated areas tend to require higher NOx reductions than rural areas.  Geographic features also contribute to atmospheric NOx buildup, which makes some areas, such as Mexico City and Los Angeles, more susceptible to smog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOx is short for oxides of Nitrogen.
