Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) Regulations: NOx can also be a contributor to the formation of ozone. NOx arise from any combustion process including power plants, furnaces, cement kilns, and turbines. In some areas, reductions of NOx do not contribute to reductions of ozone. In these areas, a waiver can be obtained from the requirement to control NOx. These areas must demonstrate through photochemical modeling that these reductions will not be beneficial to reducing ozone. In Region 6, of the ozone nonattainment areas, only Baton Rouge has a waiver from NOx control. If new information in the future indicates that NOx reductions will be beneficial, these areas will have to implement controls on NOx sources.
