Carbon dioxide: Mostly the PBAN binder.

Of course! I forgot about polymer binder in the SRBs. Thanks for the reminder!

The lower estimate of NOx from liquid fuel engines mentioned in the source was ~0.5% of water by moles because this is the typical content of LN2 in LO2 of technical purity. So that would be about half a ton of NO per 65t of water.

N2 must obviously be present in the exhaust but it's hard to separate it from the usual air (track isotopes ratio, maybe?).
