Nitrous oxides, are a group of gases primarily composed of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). These gases are significant environmental pollutants, produced by high-temperature combustion processes found in vehicle engines, power plants, and various industrial activities. Monitoring nitrous oxides is essential for protecting public health, complying with environmental regulations, and managing and reducing air pollution effectively.
At Signal Group, we provide state-of-the-art NOx analyzers designed for accurate, reliable, and continuous monitoring of these critical pollutants, helping industries meet stringent emission controls and improve air quality.
Nitrous Oxide, or laughing gas, is a relative newcomer to the list of industrial pollutants of concern to regulatory bodies monitoring climate change. It has a stronger greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide and is produced as a by-product of many industrial processes.
The measurement techniques available for this gas are infra-red and electrochemical cell. Both have their limitations. The US EPA have produced guidelines on what they consider to be the reference method for measuring N2O as part of the process of legislating for it to be measured and reported by engine and vehicle manufacturers and other industries. They suggest using an infra-red detector that uses a catalyst to oxidise CO, the strongest interferent.
Non Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Multi-gas analysers are available in 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 gas channel configurations, offering high levels of performance and flexibility. Options include CO, CO2, CH4, NO, N2O, SO2, HCl and O2.
With Signal Group’s nitrous oxides analysers, you gain an expert partner in air quality management. Our analysers help you monitor, report, and reduce N2O emissions effectively, ensuring environmental compliance and promoting public health.

Signal Group has announced the further expansion of its network of international distributors with the appointment of Y&J Eng in South Korea. “Asia is fast becoming one of our major markets, so it is important that we have a local partner in the Korean market,” explains Signal MD James Clements.
In the modern era, emissions monitoring has become a critical environmental responsibility for industries worldwide. Gas analysers play a pivotal role in this context, offering the tools necessary to accurately measure the presence and concentrations of various gases in emissions. Their importance cannot be overstated, as they provide the data
Some of the ‘noise’ around global warming can be a little confusing, so in the following blog James Clements, from gas analysis equipment manufacturer Signal Group, explains some of the key issues… Most people know that global warming is caused by excessive quantities of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere
