There are also significant natural sources of oxides of nitrogen, in particular nitric oxide, which is produced by biomass burning as well as by soils where nitrification, denitrification, and the decomposition of nitrite (N02) contribute to NO production. Figure 2.4b, for example, shows the relative emission rates for biogenically produced NO in the United States in 1990 (EPA, 1995). 

Surface emissions include technological sources (industry, transportation and other fossil fuel combustion processes), biomass burning, nitrogen fixation in soils and oceanic activity and totals 39 Tg yr"F The photochemical production (31 Tg yr ) from HCHO photolysis accounts for about 45% of the total source of H2.
