These can possibly be addressed by catalytic converters in the exhaust (not sure how feasible that is in a turbine engine though). In any event, it's a small fraction of total greenhouse emissions, dwarfed by CO2. Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good.

Oh I wasn't concerned about their greenhouse effect contribution. NOx can cause asthma and bronchitis and can aggravate pre-existing heart conditions. They also form smog.

Did I mention that they are bad for the ozone layer?
