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
