Explanation:

Nitrogen dioxide which is present in the atmosphere is very harmful and its long - time exposure can cause many chronic and lung diseases in human beings. It is also very harmful to the vegetation and cause damage to the crops and decreasing the yield of it.

To reduce the amount of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere, the amount of nitrogen fertilizers which are used on plants must be reduced and we can use nitrogen inhibitors.
