Abstract In this study, online N2O and NO analyzer were used to monitor N2O and NO emissions in different zones of the aeration tank of a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Parameters such as ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH were also measured to reveal their influence on N2O and NO emissions. The results showed that the DO concentration of the aeration tank was between 0.24 mg/L and 1.12 mg/L, and mostly at approximately 0.6 mg/L. The low DO concentration led to the nitrite accumulation along the aeration tank. The N2O and NO emission rose along the aerobic tank and ultimately reached the maximum value at the end of the aeration tank. Besides, NO emission was significantly and positively correlated with the nitrite concentration, while the N2O emission was less significant. The N2O and NO emission factors of the wastewater treatment plant were 6.3~8.83% and 0.033~0.034% of influent ammonia.
