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.

How is photochemical smog formed and what harm can it cause?
photochemical smog is formed by a complex process . photochemical smog irritates breathing passages, plants, and damage rubber,plants,and some plastics
A type of air pollution common around but not limited to cities is called?
A type of air pollution which is most common around cities is smog. The most common causes of smog are automobile exhaust and industrial plants.
How does smog affect animals?
There are quite a few ways that exhaust fumes affect plants and animals. Exhaust fumes kill plants and cause breathing problems in animals.
What is the dirty haze that forms when pollution combines with moisture in the air?
Why, that would be Smog -- a worried derived from the two words, Smoke and Fog, first reportedly used in LA that has plenty of both.
Where does smog go?
Smog is released to the o zone layer.
How is photochemical smog formed and what harm can it cause?
photochemical smog is formed by a complex process . photochemical smog irritates breathing passages, plants, and damage rubber,plants,and some plastics
Where does smog come from?
Smog is caused by pollutants in the air. The source is often emissions from industrial plants and vehicles.
How does smog affect your body?
smog can irritate eyes, throat, and lungs. it can also harm plants and other living things
How does photochemical smog affect humans plants animals property?
[Inappropriate answer removed]
Does smog eat plants?
affects animals lung. affect the growth of plant and there life span.
How is the human respiratory system damage by smog?
Smog can lead to asthma and other chronic related diseases. Smog is very harmful to people, breathing in harmful toxins and pollutants cant be good for you.
What forms photochemical smog?
Photochemical smog is formed by the action of sunlight on pollutants such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. It irritates your eyes, throat, and lungs and can also harm plants and other living things.
Air pollution air pollutants combine and contribute to this issue?
Smog. Asthma. Damage to plants. Ozone.
When the burning of fossil-fuels in manufacturing plants gives off particulates and sulfur oxides you have?
Photochemical smog
When the burning of fossil-fuels in manufacturing plants gives off particulates and sulfur oxides we have?
photo chemical smog
Which type of smog industrial smog and photochemical smog is responsible for ozone in the troposphere Why?
Smog from coal fired power plants and similar is the smog "Classic" that has been with us since the start of the industrial revolution. It is sulphur dioxide and particulate in normal fog. Photochemical smog results from the action of ultraviolet light on NOx created during combustion (mostly in internal combustion engines) and reactive hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon incomplete combustion. The reaction products include:AldehydesNitrogen oxides, such as nitrogen dioxidePeroxyacyl nitratesTropospheric ozoneVolatile organic compounds
How is photochemical smog created?
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.
