N2O and NO emissions from a full-scale BAF were studied online for the first time.
N2O and NO emissions occurred even at DO over 6.9 mg/L in the studied BAF.
N2O and NO emission factors were 0.017–0.828% and 0.00017–0.0041%, respectively.
Influent NO2−-N concentration was a direct contributor to N2O and NO production.
Nitrifier denitrification is a possible N2O and NO production pathway.
