Does nitrogen have an effect on the envirom ent?

Excess presence of nitrogen effects Water and Air quality, which is a great concern to the environment.Nitrogen in the soil converted to nitrate(No3) and it is highly mobile,so easily moved with water to effect groundwater and surface water. Two important nitrogen oxide No and NO2 commonly grouped as NOx. NOx is formed when fuel is burn at high temperature and plays an important role in the formation of ground level ozone, acid rain and particulate matter.Another nitrogen oxide, nitrous oxide (N2O), is a greenhouse gas and one of the causes for global warming. Other impacts of nitrogen on environment are eutrophication of surface water, toxic algae blooms,hypoxia,nitrogen saturation in forests etc.
