Kväveföreningar påverkar miljön på flera sätt när de kommer ut i luft och vatten, bland annat så sker övergödning och försurning men även ozonkoncentrationen kan påverkas i troposfären och stratosfären. Effekterna som kväve ger upphov till har inte fått mycket uppmärksamhet i klimat- och miljödebatter, istället har fokus varit koldioxidutsläppen. Konceptet kvävefotavtryck introducerades nyligen soNitrogen species have several environmental effects when emitted to water and air, such as eutrophication and acidification but they may also alter the ozone concentration in the troposphere and stratosphere. These effects have not received much attention in the climate and environmental debates, instead the focus has been on carbon emissions. Nitrogen footprint is a newly introduced concept among
