Formula
Notes Expressed as NO2. Generally, 95+ volume % of nitrogen oxides present in combustion exhaust will be in the form of NO, the rest NO2. To express factors as NO, multiply factors by 0.66. This emission factor is derived from the emission factor for bituminous coal. (Roy Huntley - EPA response to question in an email dated 5/30/03)
