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.
