How does photochemical smog form?
Photochemical smog results from the interaction of the ultraviolet portion of sunlight and ozonee, nitrogen oxides and reactive hydrocarbons. The NOX can result from emissions from combustion sources such as car engines, the reactive hydrocarbons are also attributable to car exhaust. The ozone can come from the sunlights action on atmospheric oxygen, stratospheric ozone downwasing or chemical reactions in the atmosphere wirth NOx. The outcome is an excess of ozone, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons of several types.
