NOx causes respiratory problems — such as wheezing, coughing, colds, bronchitis and worsened
asthma — and is harmful for vegetation.
California lowered NOx emission limits from 40ng/J to 14mg/J for all natural-gas-fired, fan-type
residential central furnaces within certain parts of the state.
An installation uncompliant with these new emissions standards is liable for a fine of up to
$450 if not corrected by October 2019.
