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.

How does ground-ozone form?
Ground ozone is formed by thunder and lightening. It is a pollutant.
Which is source of emission leading to the eventual formation of surface ozone as a pollutant?
The primary source of emission leading to the formation of surface ozone as a pollutant is the release of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from human activities, such as fossil fuel combustion, industrial processes, and vehicle emissions. These emissions react with sunlight to form ozone, particularly in areas with high levels of NOx and VOCs.
How does the ozone layer help maintain ground-level air quality?
The ozone layer absorbs a large portion of incoming UV radiation, which keeps ground-level ozone from forming. A higher percentage of UV radiation entering the troposphere would allow a greater amount of ozone to form in the troposphere. Ozone is a pollutant in the troposphere. By regulating the amount of UV radiation that enters the troposphere, the ozone layer also regulates the amount of ozone formation in the troposphere.
Why is the reaction of CFC's with ozone considered catalytic?
CFC's react with ozone and form the same product again. Thus leading to a chain reaction.
Is the ozone in the atmosphere a form of carbon?
No its not. Ozone is a form of oxygen.
How is ozone a secondary air pollutant?
A secondary pollutant is one that is not directly emitted by a point source. Ozone is not directly emitted - it requires the sun to form. It forms as a result of direct pollutants such as NO2 and volatile organic compounds.
What is a form of oxygen that is a pollutant in the trophosphere?
Ozone
How does ground-ozone form?
Ground ozone is formed by thunder and lightening. It is a pollutant.
Is the ozone in the strtosphere is a form of air polluton?
No, it is not. The ozone in stratosphere is good ozone.
How does ground-level ozone form?
Ground level ozone is a pollutant. it is generally emitted from vehicles.
Does asbestos form a secondary pollutant?
Asbestos does not form secondary pollutants. It is a chemically inert fiber.
How do you find out the facts to the ozone layer?
Ozone is a triatomic form of oxygen molecule. It is a pollutant at ground level.
What is the name of the pollutant believed to be causing damage to the ozone layer?
CFC's are the pollutants which are man made. They destroy ozone to form their own compounds.
Which is source of emission leading to the eventual formation of surface ozone as a pollutant?
The primary source of emission leading to the formation of surface ozone as a pollutant is the release of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from human activities, such as fossil fuel combustion, industrial processes, and vehicle emissions. These emissions react with sunlight to form ozone, particularly in areas with high levels of NOx and VOCs.
Is smog secondary or primary?
Its considered secondary, but it can form from primary causes I heard.
Which layer of the atmosphere is considered the ozone layer?
The layer containing ozone gas in the stratosphere region of the earth is known as ozone layer. Ozone is the triatomic form of oxygen.
Most widespread pollutant that can cause long-term lung damage?
Ozone. Ozone: a form of oxygen that is a harmful component of air pollution. Ozone, the primary ingredient of smog air pollution, can impair the body's immune system and cause long term lung damage.
