The EU funded NitroPortugal project has developed a unique educational mobile phone app called NitroSmash in order to raise the issue of Nitrogen in the environment.
This is a smasher/arcade game where the main goal is to stop Ammonia and Nitrous Oxide molecules from reaching the atmosphere.
A set of commemorative stamps, inspired by NitroPortugal (an EU funded project), has been produced and launched nationally in Portugal in January 2019.

Historical trends and levels of nitrogen (N) budgets and emissions to air and water in the European Union and the United States are markedly different.

This paper explores the implications of these differences for attaining long-term policy targets for air and water quality.
