The source of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) is essentially the combustion of fossil fuels and derivatives.
Also some chemical processes release nitrogen oxides.
As an addenda, the questioner might be seeking to know if nitrogen compounds are formed in other ways, to which I would suggest that virtually all PLANTS make nitrogen compounds by extracting and combining atmospheric and soil-bound elements. I hope that helps.
Air can be divided into compounds and elements. The major components of air are the elements nitrogen and oxygen, but most air also contains carbon dioxide and, at least in industrialized area, also oxides of nitrogen and sulfur that are compounds.
Air is a mixture of compound gases. Nitrogen (N2 ; N///N) 79% Oxygen (O2 ; O=O) 20% The remaining 1% (ONe percent) is made up of the compounds Water (H2O) Carbon dioxide (CO2) Ozone (O3) ( in the upper atmosphere) Sulphur dioxide (SO2) Nitrogen Oxides (NO(x) Ammonia (NH3) The NON-compound Noble Gases.
A number microbes in the soil, water and air transform these nitrogen compounds
Nitrogen containing gases dissolved in vapor in the atmosphere can produce compounds such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitric acid (HNO3), which contribute to air pollution and acid rain. These compounds can have harmful effects on human health, vegetation, and ecosystems.
Acid rain is caused by which of the following? excess carbon dioxide deforestation nitrogen compounds in the air nitrogen compounds in the soil Help me please
Nitrogen and oxygen are the two most abundant gases in the air. They are actually elements and not compounds. The two most abundant compounds would be water vapor and carbon dioxide.
Common gases that cause air pollution include nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These gases are typically emitted from vehicle exhaust, industrial processes, and power plants, and contribute to smog, acid rain, and respiratory issues.
air is a mixture of elements (nitrogen, oxygen, trace amounts of other elemental gases) plus compounds (water vapor, nitrogen and sulfur oxides, CO2)
The most common compounds found in the atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen. Of the two, nitrogen is more abundant and keeps oxygen inert.

No, air in a bottle is not a compound. Air is a mixture of different gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others. Compounds are substances formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in fixed proportions, which is not the case with the gases in air.
Air is mainly composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, which together constitute the major gases of the atmosphere. The remaining gases are often referred to as trace gases,[1] among which are the greenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Filtered air includes trace amounts of many other chemical compounds. Many natural substances may be present in tiny amounts in an unfiltered air sample, including dust, pollen and spores, sea spray, and volcanic ash. Various industrial pollutants also may be present, such as chlorine (elementary or in compounds), fluorine compounds, elemental mercury, and sulfur compounds such as sulfur dioxide [SO2].From Wikipedia
