The air is already 78% nitrogen, so nitrogen doesn't pollute air. That being said, the nitrogen in air reacts under high heat and/or pressure such as an engine or combustion process to make nitrogen oxides which are toxic or can combine with water to make acid rain, or combine with reactive hydrocarbons in the presence of ultraviolet light to make photochemical smog.

Does nitrogen pollute the air?
Nitrogen is a normal component (about 80%) of the air you breathe. It is inert under most circumstances (excluding deep sea work where nitrogen narcosis or Rapture of the Deeps, might occur) When there is too much nitrogen in the air, it is usually looked at as too little oxygen. Though nitrogen is a naturally occurring in air, nitrogen oxide, which is mainly produced by road traffic. In excess it is known to give rise to acid rain. The main affect of NO2 in air is that it contributes to the formation of photochemical smog. It can also cause respiratory problems because it causes inflammation of the lining of the lungs and reduce immunity to lung infections

Do heaters pollute the air?
Yes. Technically, all air conditioners, fans, and heaters will pollute the air.
Does nos pollute the air?
I theorize that since oxygen and nitrogen are both present in the atmosphere, there must be nitrous oxide in the air already. Therefore, I conclude that N2O will not have negative affects on the atmosphere.
