It should be "nuisant" but that's not a word. For example, "I want the authorities to shut down that _______ coal factory that emits noxious fumes all day."

verb: annoy
adjective: annoying
noun: nuisance
In your example, nuisance/annoying may not be the best choice. A nuisance is usually a small bother and not a big deal. Something that emits noxious fumes, or a noxious odors (a skunk, for example) might be considered abhorrent or deplorable.

Say -that nuisance OF a coal factory, or reword the sentence. I want the authorites to shut down that coal factory that is such a nuisance because it emits noxious fumes all day

Another Word For Nuisance

I agree that annoying or nuisance (in adjective form) would not be a good word to use in that particular sentence. That kind of factory is perhaps more "harmful, damaging or detrimental" than annoying.
Incidentally, another synonym for annoying could be "inconvenient"

You use the word nuisance and reword your sentence.
