@curiouscat
I like your recap but

I interpreted the WIKI entry a different way.
I never thought they meant air had different properties than nitrogen and oxygen.
I never thought they implied nitrogen was combustible.
but now I see where one could read it a different way.
I leave it to the English majors to sort out how to properly write things

I find it interesting that a process that only gives ppm requires most every car in the US to have an expensive catalytic converter.
I guess those ppm add up.

If I keep typing I will get the pendant award (probably deserved already)

It is not only nitrogen oxides, but also about carbon monoxide and leftover hydrocarbons.

Google for photochemical smog.
