What is secondary pollution?
a secondary pollutant is basically not given off as a pollutant but becomes one after it reacts with other pollutants, primary pollutants, in the atmosphere
How is ozone different from other pollutants?
Ozone is different from other pollutants. It is a secondary pollutant.
Is Air is a compound that consists of several gases?
I think it is a mixture, not a compound, though it probably contains compoundsair is a mixture of nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (21%), and the remaining 1% is made of CO2, CO, H2O, and a lot of pollutants and other compounds.
Why is the tropospheric ozone pollution?
Stratospheric ozone is pollutant. It is because it mixes with other 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 kinds of harm does photochemical smog cause?
It irritates your eyes, throat, and lungs. It can also harm plants and other living things. Photochemical smog is formed by the action of sunlight on pollutants such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. these chemicals react to form a brownish mixture of ozone and other pollutants.
What forms photochemical smog?
Photochemical smog is formed by the action of sunlight on pollutants such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. It irritates your eyes, throat, and lungs and can also harm plants and other living things.
What's the name of other air pollutants such as ozone and smog?
Ozone (as a pollutant) is more properly known as tropospheric (or ground level) ozoneSmog is more properly known as photochemical smog.The two terms are examples of man made pollutantsAir pollutants
What is the brownish haze formed when pollutants react with each other in the presence of sunlight?
Hi, I am a sixth grader that studies seventh grade math and is in advanced English and history. I am the first person to answer this question: What is the brownish haze formed when pollutants react with each other in the presence of sunlight? The answer is: Photochemical Smog.
What is secondary pollution?
a secondary pollutant is basically not given off as a pollutant but becomes one after it reacts with other pollutants, primary pollutants, in the atmosphere
Is smog good for plants?
There are two types of smog, the good old smoke and fog type and photochemical smog ( a mixture of ozone, VOCs, PAHs and other nasties) For both types the answer is no.
What are secondary pollutants and how do they form.?
secondary pollutants are pollutants that form when primary pollutants react with other primary pollutants or with naturally occurring substances
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.
How is ozone different from other pollutants?
Ozone is different from other pollutants. It is a secondary pollutant.
What is photochemical fog?
It forms when photons of sunlight hit moleculesof different kinds of pollutants in the atmosphere. The photons make chemical reactions happen. The pollution molecules turn into other kinds of nasty chemicals. That mixture of bad chemicals is called photochemical smog. The chemicals in photochemical smog include nitrogen oxides, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), ozone, and PAN (peroxyacytyl nitrate). Nitrogen oxides mostly come from the engines of cars and trucks. VOCs are given off by paint, gasoline, and pesticides. Ozone is a form of oxygen that is harmful. PAN is a type of pollution that is made by chemical reactions between other kinds of pollution. Natural and artificially emitted hydrocarbons in the presence of oxides of nitrogen undergo photochemical reactions which produce a cloud of toxic chemicals including ozone and a variety of harmful chemical gaseous and particulate agents. This process is powered by sunlight and some of the products, such as ozone, reach a peak soon after photon flux from the sun reaches a maximum, around midday. The thermal inversions often associated with some cities can lead to a dangerous buildup of smog in urban areas. Human deaths have been attributed to photochemical smog since the Industrial Revolution in cities such as London and New York.
What causes black carbon pollution?
a mixture of pollutants such as carbon particulates (CO) and carbon monoxide. But mainly the carbon particulates other wise known as soot.
Is photochemical smog most likely to occur when it's raining?
No. Quite the opposite, in fact. Photochemical smog is formed when emissions and other chemicals react with the suns rays.
