A secondary air pollutant is a pollutant which results from two different contaminants in the environment. A classic example is the formation of photochemical smog when hydrocarbons and Nix mix in the presence of ultraviolet light. A similar effect results when, from two separate industrial processes, chlorine gas mixes with aromatic hydrocarbon vapours to make a lachrymator (tear gas)
