Is formaldehyde a primary pollutant?
Yes, it is a primary pollutant
Is ground ozone a primary or secondary pollutant?
Secondary Pollutant
Is hydrocarbon a secondary pollutant?
No. Hydrocarbon is a Primary pollutant.
Is Nitrogen oxide a primary or secondary pollutant?
secondary pollutant. deals with oxygen in air
Is C02 a Secondary Pollutant?
secondary pollutant because of the it extracts a gas / smoke that contributed to global warming .
What the difference between primary and secondary pollutants?
Primary pollutants are pollutants that enters the air directly from a source and Secondary pollutants are air pollutantsproduced by the reaction of a primary pollutant with some other pollutant
Is car exhaust a primary pollutant What about acid precipitation or smoke from a factory or fumes from burning plastic?
A primary pollutant is emitted directly into the atmosphere, so exhaust, smoke and fumes are all primary pollutants. Acid rain is a secondary pollutant.
Is 'P A N' a secondary pollutant?
No, "PAN" (peroxyacetyl nitrate) is not a primary pollutant; it is a type of secondary pollutant formed through chemical reactions of primary pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the atmosphere. PAN is a photochemical smog component formed in the presence of sunlight.
What is the difference between secondary and primary pollutants?
Some Primary pollutants are like when humans directly put them in the air Secondary pollutants are like when pollutants react with Primary and other Primary pollutants.
What form of ozone is considered a secondary pollutant?
secondary pollutants are pollutants that form from chemical reactions that occur when primary pollutants come in contact with other primary polluants or with naturally occurring substances such as water vapor.
What is a secondary pollutant?
A secondary pollutant is not directly emitted, it is formed in the atmosphere when primary pollutants are mixed as through chemical and photochemical reaction. For example, a secondary pollution would be ozone which is formed when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides combine in sunlight
Why is ozone called a secondary pollutant?
Ozone is called a secondary pollutant because it is not directly emitted into the atmosphere. Instead, it is formed from chemical reactions between primary pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight. These reactions produce ozone as a secondary byproduct, which can be harmful to human health and the environment.
