Photochemical smog is caused by the action on chemicals of what?
Photochemical smog is caused by the action of sunlight on pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere. These pollutants react with sunlight to form ground-level ozone and other harmful compounds, creating the thick haze characteristic of photochemical smog.
What is the term for mixture of smoke chemicals and fog?
The original ten was smog for SMoke + fOG. With more modern events where the effect is caused by the action of sunlight and ozone on chemicals or auto exhaust and fog it is often referred to as Photochemical Smog
Is a brown haze caused by the action of sunlight on chemicals?
yes ma'am!(:
Is a fossil fuel a photochemical smog?
Fossil fuels are coal,oil and natural gas. They are not themselves photochemical smog. That is a complex mixture caused by the action of sunlight on air containing substances released when fuels burn. Thus it is connected to fossil fuels, but it is not the same thing.
What is the meaning of photochemical smog?
Photochemical Smog is any chemical reaction that takes place with the presence of sunlight. The most common example is Ground-level Ozone, caused by reactions of common pollutants along with their reaction to the sunlight.

Photochemical smog is caused by?
Nitrous Oxide
How does photochemical smog differ from industrial smog?
London-type smog is caused mainly by air pollution due to combustion of coal and emission of sulphur dioxide and dust. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution produced when sunlight acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances.
What is caused when pollutants mix with oxygen and other chemicals in the presence of sunlight?
The formation of ground-level ozone is caused when pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, react with oxygen and other chemicals in the presence of sunlight. This reaction can lead to the formation of smog, which can have harmful effects on human health and the environment.
How does photochemical smog form?
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.
What is difference between thermal and photochemical reaction?
Photochemical reaction: a chemical reaction induced by electromagnetic radiations: ul- traviolet, visible, etc.) Thermal reaction: a chemical reaction induced by increasing the temperature (ex.: thermal dissociation, etc.)
What are the cause of smog of acid rain?
it is caused bye photochemical smog and acid rain
