Descriptor English: Nitrogen Dioxide
Descriptor Spanish: Dióxido de Nitrógeno
Descriptor dióxido de nitrógeno
Entry term(s) NO2
Scope note: Óxido de nitrógeno (NO2). Es un gas altamente tóxico. La exposición al mismo produce inflamación pulmonar que puede causar solo ligero dolor o pasar desapercibida, pero el edema resultante puede conducir a la muerte varios días después. (traducción libre: Merck, 11th ed). Es uno de los principales contaminantes atmosféricos capaz de absorber la luz UV que no alcanza la superficie terrestre.

Scope note: Nitrogen oxide (NO2). A highly poisonous gas. Exposure produces inflammation of lungs that may only cause slight pain or pass unnoticed, but resulting edema several days later may cause death. (From Merck, 11th ed) It is a major atmospheric pollutant that is able to absorb UV light that does not reach the earth's surface.
