Looks like nitrogen is a bad thing. The lower the number the better.

A quick Google reveals this:
"Many nitrogen compounds can contaminate refinery catalysts. They tend to be the most difficult class of compounds to hydrogenate, so the nitrogen content remaining in the product of a hydrotreator is a measure of the effectiveness of the hydrotreating process."

That excerpt is from

As for boron, that's been covered by MolaKule:

Nitrogen also shows up in dispersants and antioxidants, which (at the right dosages) are a good thing.

Apparently, Nitrogen performs miracles when put in tires....
