What are the three air pollutants that combine to produce ground level ozone?

Four ingredients that lead to the production of ground level ozone are: # Atmospheric oxygen # Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) -- combustion byproducts # Volatile Organic Carbons (VOCs) -- unburned fuel and/or natural exudants from humans, animals, and plants # Visible violet to ultraviolet light -- which is present by 8:00 am local time, and gone by about 4:00 pm local time Ozone decays pretty rapidly with time, temperature, and humidity. So ozone concentrations vary pretty wildly from day to night. i only know of 2 car exhaust (NOx and VOC) / sun rays the first three are car exaust and sun rays submitted by, Nolan R. Morse The oxygen in the atmosphere is the fourth, where the single oxygen atom is added to to make ozone.

∙ 14y agoThe largest source of ground level ozone is via photoproduction from combustion byproducts. NOx (exhaust), VOCs (unburned fuel, and exudants from lifeforms), and visible violet and more energetic light all combine to produce ozone. Most electrical transmission lines and appliances also make ozone. Lightning makes ozone. Welders make ozone. Ozone is used in a number of industrial and municipal processes in some cities, but the offgas from these processes is supposed to be captured and converted back to oxygen. (Note these folks also have monitors to make sure they do this.) Ozone in the troposphere can result from downwashing of stratospheric ozone as winds pass over high mountains. This is often noted on the leeward side of the Rockies

How is ground-level ozone and smog related?
Ground level smog and ozone are related with each other. They both act as pollutants at ground level.
Two main chemicals react in sunlight and stagnant air to produce ground-level ozone What are they called?
Ozone's chemical composition is O3. It is formed when ultraviolet radiation first breaks the chemical bond between O2, forming 2 free oxygen atoms. These two free atoms then each combine with an O2 molecule forming two O3 molecules.
What is another name for bad ozone?
Bad ozone is the common name. The name for bad ozone is ground level ozone. It is because most of it is present as a ground level pollutant.
Can photochemical smog forms a mixture of ozone and other pollutants?
Yes, photo chemical smog can be a mixture of ozone and other pollutants. Ozone is also a pollutant at ground level.
Why air pollutants produced by forest fires in another country can travel all the way to Singapore?
The air pollutants rise high in the atmosphere where the winds are very active. These high-speed winds in the upper atmosphere is what allows pollutants to travel and spread our through out the world. Even though the winds at ground level seem still, high in the atmosphere they're vigorous and aggressive.

What is air pollutants such as ozone and smog are?
Ozone and smog are pollutants at ground level. They cause various problems.
What makes up smog and ground level ozone?
vehicles make up smog and ground level ozone. They are pollutants.
What can trap pollutants at ground level and cause dangerous smog?

When do maximum ground level concentrations of pollutants occur in mountain valleys?
Maximum ground level concentrations occur a few hours after sunrise when inversion layers are broken up and brought to the ground.

Can photochemical smog forms a mixture of ozone and other pollutants?
Yes, photo chemical smog can be a mixture of ozone and other pollutants. Ozone is also a pollutant at ground level.
What is aquifer pollution?
Aquifer Pollution is where pollutants seep into the ground and make it unsutible to use. Pollutants can be garbage water, acid, or sewage. Aquifer Pollution is where pollutants seep into the ground and make it unsutible to use. Pollutants can be garbage water, acid, or sewage.
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 are the five major air pollutants regulate by the EPA according to the Clean Air Act?
ground-level ozone, particle pollution, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide
