Emissions of nitrogen oxides from road transport in the United Kingdom were approximately 195,400 metric tons in 2022. This was a decrease of some 2.4 percent in comparison to the previous year. Road transportation is the main source of nitrogen oxides emissions in the UK. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are a group of highly reactive gases including nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and nitrous oxide (N₂O).
