Wrong way around. Tropospheric (ground level) ozone is a component of photochemical smog. It is made by the interaction of ultraviolet light, volatile hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Other products of this reaction include polycyclic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Stratospheric ozone (hig level) is made by the interaction of oxygen atoms and ultraviolet light.
The two locations only interact when stratospheric ozone is downwashed by the jet stream passing over high mountain into the troposphere.

Are smog and ozone synonyms?
No. Smog includes ozone and more compounds in the troposphere. Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, where it protects all surface life based on DNA. When it is found in concentrations >0.05 ppm in the troposphere, it is considered a pollutant, a constituent of smog.
Air pollutants such as ozone and smog are?
... produced by sunlight.
Ozone or smog are what kind of pollutants?
Air pollutants.
Why is ozone considered a pollutant?
Ozone present in the troposphere is also called as bad ozone. It is also a green house gas. It is the major constituent of the urban smog.
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 makes up smog and ground level ozone?
vehicles make up smog and ground level ozone. They are pollutants.
Does the ozone layer contribute to the formation of smog?
No. The ozone layer has no effect on the formation of smog.
What type of pollutants is ozone and smog?
Ozone and smog are secondary pollutants. They are not primary ones.
What is the relationship between ozone and smog?
Smog is a brown haze that causes harmful chemicals such as ozone.
What kind of pollution is ozone and smog?
Ozone is not a pullutant. Our ozone is what is being destroyed by the air pollution called smog.
Ozone and smog are pollutants?

What is air pollutants such as ozone and smog are?
Ozone and smog are pollutants at ground level. They cause various problems.
What is a main ingredient of smog?
The main ingredients of smog are fine particulate matter and ground-level ozone.
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.
Does the ozone layer contribute smog at a low altitude?
No. There are some documented cases of ozone being wafted down into high mountain communities, but ozone in smog is formed from other components in smog... and visible light.
