What type of smog produces the brown haze?
The type of smog that produces the brown haze is known as a photochemical smog. This is seen when oil or coal is burned.
What type of smog largely consists of secondary pollutants?
photochemical smog
What country is famous photochemical smog?
Photochemical smog can occur most anywhere. London-type smog comes from factories and the burning of coal and fossil fuels, where photochemical smog comes from hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides mixing with sunlight.
Type of smog formed from fossil fuel pollutants with the aid of light?
Photochemical smog
Which country is famous for its photochemical smog a type of air pollution?
japan
Where can someone find information on photochemical smog?
Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution, so one can go to an environmental protection agency website. Chemistry tutorials also have information; AUS-e-TUTE, for example, is a good source of information on photochemical smog.
How is photochemical smog created?
There are two major types of smog: photochemical and industrial smog. Photochemical smog is created through a reaction by which air pollutants are struck by sunlight, and form particulate matter and tropospheric ozone. The air pollutants that are most responsible for this type of smog are nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Photochemical is especially a problem in areas with many cars, coal-burning power plants, and the right weather conditions. Los Angeles, CA is a city that often has to deal with photochemical smog.
How does photochemical smog differ from industrial smog?
London-type smog is caused mainly by air pollution due to combustion of coal and emission of sulphur dioxide and dust. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution produced when sunlight acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances.
