No, farming (fertilizer, manure) produces nitrogen oxide. Cars also produce nitrogen oxide, which is why metropolitan areas also show up.

Yes and wasn't dismissing farming as being a source and mindful cars were probably huge factor in this. But thought was worth opening that up for debate as many will see such data and run with their conclusions.

Thank you.

It's mostly about the ammonia produced by animals (manure).

Animal waste in general.

Anyone with a dog and a yard learns how devastating their waste can be to plants. Now multiple that by 10,000.
