What are ozone and smog?

Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen, and ozone is formed when visible light (violet to more energetic like UV-A) strikes NOx in the presence of VOC. When ozone is found in the air we breathe, it is considered a pollutant. In the upper atmosphere, ozone is formed a different way, and is beneficial. Ozone does not survive long enough to go from Earth's surface to the lower stratosphere (where the ozone layer is)... it is too unstable. Smog is usually comprised of photoactivated NOx or VOCs. These compounds are emitted by most combustion processes, although even methane counts as a VOC. Smog is pollution, its constituents are considered pollutants. NOx = oxide of nitrogen VOC = volatile organic carbon

What is zero voc paint?

Zero VOC or NO VOC paint is a misnomer and only means very, very low levels of VOC's. Usually, paints marketed with these titles will have VOC's in the range of under 5 g/L. Even when adding in pigment at the paint store, which can add 2-5 g/L of VOC, the total VOC content for the mixed paint would be under 10 g/L .This low level of VOC content paint is as good as it's going to get from the larger paint companies.An example of a paint that meets this spec is Harmony® Paint by Sherwin-Williams.To get lower VOC content than this would require the use of more expensive and less readily available Non-Toxic or Natural Paints.By the way VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compound.h
