smoke is one
Primary air pollutants are ones directly emitted into the atmosphere.
Gaseous Air Pollutants
· Sulfur Dioxite (SO2) - Emissions from - electric power generation, petroleum refining, commercial use, residential use, combustion for industry use, production processes, extraction of fossil fuels, transportation - roads, aviation, ships, trains
· Nitrogen Oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) - emissions from motor vehicles, energy production
· Ammonia - emissions from livestock, fertilzers, oceans, vegetation
· Carbon Monoxide - emissions from motor vehicles and industries
· Volatile Organic Compounds - emissions from solvent use, from petroleum use, production processess
· Ozone (O3) - emissions from various pollutants
· Persistent Organic Pollutants - emissions from aerosols, pesticides

What is the difference between secondary and primary pollutants?
Some Primary pollutants are like when humans directly put them in the air Secondary pollutants are like when pollutants react with Primary and other Primary pollutants.
Is secondary pollutants more harmful than primary pollutants?
Primary air pollutants are emitted directly into atmosphere from a process such as exhaust from a engine, industries, volcanic eruption Secondary air pollution are formed in the air when primary pollutants interact.
What is primary pollution?
Pollution is any foreign substance present in more concentration than safer limits. They are two types of pollutants 1. Primary pollutants 2. Secondary pollutants Primary pollutants are those which generated directly from Source . That type of pollution is generally termed as primary pollution. Ex : Carbondioxide , Sulphur dioxide etc in case of Air pollution Secondary pollutants are those which formed by the combination of more than two or more primary pollutants Ex : Ozone , Photo chemical smog in case of air pollution
Photochemical smog is formed when primary pollutants interact with?
Sunlight
Which of the following air pollutants is not a primary pollutant?
Car exhaust
What is the difference between secondary and primary pollutants?
Some Primary pollutants are like when humans directly put them in the air Secondary pollutants are like when pollutants react with Primary and other Primary pollutants.
What are secondary pollutants and how do they form.?
secondary pollutants are pollutants that form when primary pollutants react with other primary pollutants or with naturally occurring substances
What the difference between primary and secondary pollutants?
Primary pollutants are pollutants that enters the air directly from a source and Secondary pollutants are air pollutantsproduced by the reaction of a primary pollutant with some other pollutant
Is secondary pollutants more harmful than primary pollutants?
Primary air pollutants are emitted directly into atmosphere from a process such as exhaust from a engine, industries, volcanic eruption Secondary air pollution are formed in the air when primary pollutants interact.
What type of pollutants is ozone and smog?
Ozone and smog are secondary pollutants. They are not primary ones.

What pollutants are pollutants in the air because of human activity?
the answer to this question is pretty simple and it primary pollutants
Photochemical smog is formed when primary pollutants interact with?
Sunlight
Which of the following air pollutants is not a primary pollutant?
Car exhaust
What types of pollution are there?
Secondary pollutants. Secondary pollutants are pollutants caused by man. Which consider smog, chemical pollution,ect.. Primary pollutants. primary pollutants are pollutants that are caused by nature. Volcano's eruptions etc. pollution can be caused in the air water sound and any where in the environment
How do primary pollutants form?
There are two main types of primary pollutants: man-made pollutants and natural pollutants. Man-made primary pollutants are formed largely from combustion reactions used to create electricity and run the over one billion cars that are in the world today. These pollutants include Sulfur oxides (Sulfur dioxide, Sulfur trioxide), Carbon oxides (Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide), and Nitrogen oxides (Nitrogen dioxide, Nitrogen monoxide). Another type of man-made primary pollutant includes VoCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which are largely responsible for destroying the ozone layer. Natural primary pollutants are formed by natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, and volcano eruptions, and include dust, ash, and salt particles.
Examples of primary air pollutants are carbon monoxide smoke and?
pollution
