Photchemical Pollution

Air pollutants.
Photochemical smog results from the interaction of the ultraviolet portion of sunlight and ozonee, nitrogen oxides and reactive hydrocarbons. The NOX can result from emissions from combustion sources such as car engines, the reactive hydrocarbons are also attributable to car exhaust. The ozone can come from the sunlights action on atmospheric oxygen, stratospheric ozone downwasing or chemical reactions in the atmosphere wirth NOx. The outcome is an excess of ozone, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons of several types.
The kind of acid that is caused by pollutants that combine with water in the air is called acid rain. There are many chemicals in acid rain that are harmful to the environment.
A mixture of pollutants, principally ground-level ozone, produced by chemical reactions in the air involving smog-forming chemicals. A major portion of smog-formers come from burning of petroleum-based fuels such as gasoline. Other smog-formers, volatile organic compounds, are found in products such as paints and solvents. Smog can harm health, damage the environment and cause poor visibility.Smog is a combination of fog and pollution. The common cause of a widespread thick fog is a temperature inversion. If there is a significant source of pollution under the inversion, it gets trapped along with the fog. The famous London pea-soupers were produced by mixing fog with the smoke from several million open hearths burning coal. The coal used contained a large amount of sulphur, so the smoke contained lots of sulphur dioxide. This nasty yellow tinged fog killed hundreds of people in the 1950s; the resulting public outcry led to a ban on burning this type of coal. London still gets very thick fog at times, but it doesn't hurt the lungs any more. Los Angeles has an even bigger problem. Their pollution source is car exhaust emissions, especially oxides of nitrogen. . The photo-actinic effect of their continual strong sunlight makes the pollution worse. Banning cars is politically impossible, so the state of California has done the next best thing, with the strictest emission standards in the world. The problems caused by smog vary according to the pollution type. They include : Lung damage from bronchitis to cancer; severe eye irritation; blackened buildings; smelly hair and clothes.
Air pollution causes irritation in the lungs and sinuses. Depending on what kind of pollution, it can cause more harmful effects on the body. It also deteriorates the ozone which protects us from harmful sun radiation. It also keeps heat in the Earth and prevents it from going out into space, making the Earth warmer, melting the ice caps, rising the ocean levels, and flooding coastal towns.
Air pollutants.
they are Gaseous
There are various chemical pollutants responsible. These pollutants are the halogen compounds of carbon.
the pollutants are metal and microbes
the pollutants are metal and microbes
a secondary pollutant is basically not given off as a pollutant but becomes one after it reacts with other pollutants, primary pollutants, in the atmosphere
These kind of pollutants are called fumaroles which are released by the form of fumes - (Carbon monoxide (CO) )
Ozone is not a pullutant. Our ozone is what is being destroyed by the air pollution called smog.
The pollutants found in Venice canals include organic waste and sewage, heavy metals, debris and litter, oils and greases, and pollutants from boat traffic. These pollutants can have negative effects on the water quality and the ecosystem of the canals. Measures are being taken to reduce these pollutants and protect the canals' environmental health.
a kind of rock melts
in cold frigid climates with extremely little sun and few pollutants.
Almost none, after it has been used for the first few days.
