Nitrogen oxides in soil are produced primarily by microbial processes. This study proposes a conceptual model to determine the environmental impacts of agricultural soil-NOx emissions on ambient air O3 and NOx levels. A conceptual framework of the methodology is given in this study. The study concludes that the methodology will offer significant contribution to the assessment of soil-NOx emissions on ambient air O3 and NOx levels. ER -
