Air and exhaust fumes essentially get trapped in the earth's ozone layer. Since these harmful fumes cannot escape, they get recycled back into the air. When combined with sun rays and light, the result is a hazy smog that blankets entire cities like Los Angeles.
The formation of smog occurs when ozone and vehicle exhaust react in sunlight. Smog is a type of air pollution containing ozone, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds that form ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter, contributing to health and environmental problems.
Car exhaust contains primary pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, which are emitted directly into the atmosphere. Acid precipitation is caused by secondary pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Smoke from a factory and fumes from burning plastic can contain a mix of primary and secondary pollutants depending on the specific chemicals released during combustion.
Photochemical smog forms when pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react in the presence of sunlight. This reaction produces ground-level ozone, which is a harmful air pollutant that can cause respiratory issues and other health problems.
Aluminum powder can react with iodine to form aluminum iodide. This reaction is exothermic and can produce purple fumes of iodine vapor.
I am not an expert on this topic, but silicon I believe has access to some D orbitals. Water can exploit this D orbital and bond to the silicone producing an Si-O-H bond and HCl which fumes. I believe this is thermodynamically favorable (si-O-H). Carbon tetrachloride does not have access to D orbitals and can not form the necessary intermediate to react (kinetically hindered). That's my shot at it.
They make a smog.

Photochemical smog forms when sunlight reacts with vehicle exhaust emissions containing nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, leading to the production of ground-level ozone. This ozone is a key component of smog and can result in respiratory issues and damage to vegetation.

Photochemical smog forms when pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react in the presence of sunlight. This reaction produces ground-level ozone, which is a harmful air pollutant that can cause respiratory issues and other health problems.
The main chemicals in traffic fumes that contribute to the ozone problem in cities are nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When these chemicals react with sunlight and heat, they form ground-level ozone, which is a harmful air pollutant. Reducing emissions from vehicles and using cleaner transportation options can help address this issue.
Lightning is known to create nitrogen oxides. These chemicals can react with others in sunlight to produce ozone which will help to rebuild and replenish our thinning ozone layer.
Nitrogen Dioxide is produced in lightning flashes and by certain soil organisms as well as the action of sunlight on atmospheric gases, but only in tiny amounts. The main source of such air pollution is from vehicle exhaust fumes where the vehicle has not been fitted with a catalytic converter.
