Not the same reaction, though we already have several methods in place to remove NO and NO2. They are known as catalytic converters, and I am fairly sure they could be used in a smokestack system. They may be already. As for some already in the air, many freestanding versions, not connected to a polluting source, could be used to help. Say an extra one added to your car, that removes the stuff already in the atmosphere. As for methane. I am not sure.
