Nitrogen oxides are the air pollutants which are highly reactive and thus harmful to biological systems. Among them, nitric oxide (NO) has not been understood well for the health effects.In this review were summarized the informations so far obtained for the health effects of NO and were emphasized the interaction of NO with various NO-hemoproteins. Further, the spectroscopic results of NO-hemoproteins were compared with those of the model systems.
