16、Theresulting light emissions are monitored by a photomultipliertube.4.3 To measure total oxides of nitrogen(NOx=NO+NO2),the gas sample is diverted through a NO2to NO converterbefore being admitted to the flow reactor.4.4 To measure nitrogen dioxide(NO2),the gas sample isintermittently diverted through the converter,and the NOsignal subtracted from the NOxsignal.Some instrumentsutilize a dual stream principle with two reaction chambers.5.Significance and Use5.1 Most oxides of nitrogen are formed
