nitrous

基本解释

That's the case for some of the gases that contribute to climate change, such as methane and nitrous oxide.
对一些造成气候变化的气体，如甲烷和氧化亚氮（一氧化氮，笑气），来说，情况确实如此。
And so, you make not only water vapor, NOX but you make some nitrous oxides, NOX, or nox as it is known, and this is the precursor to smog.
这样不仅仅得到的水蒸气，但是你会得到一些氮氧化物，或者如大家所知到的nox，这是烟雾的前驱体。
Even if you don't care about the fish, the oxygen-starved regions they vacate could come to host bacteria that emit nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas.
即使你不关心鱼，那些鱼因为缺氧而腾出来的地方可能成为氧化亚氮排放细菌生存的场所，而氧化亚氮是一种强大的温室气体。

The land can also release nitrous oxide, a heat-trapping gas.
And so, you make not only water vapor, NOX but you make some nitrous oxides, NOX, or nox as it is known, and this is the precursor to smog.
这样不仅仅得到的水蒸气，但是你会得到一些氮氧化物，或者如大家所知到的nox，这是烟雾的前驱体。
