A very soluble, acidic gas, formula HNO 3 , the end product of the oxidation of emitted gases. It is a major component of acidic precipitation in continental regions. In the clean background troposphere, its removal in precipitation acts as a sink for odd hydrogen and nitrogen compounds and limits the formation of ozone.
