ground-level ozone can disrupt photosynthesis, meaning plants do not make their food. it can also turn the leaves brown and cause the leaves to die, harming the plant.
particulate matter can reduce visibility (create haze), reducing sunlight that can reach plants. it can be carried on the wind, settling elsewhere. It can deplete the natural minerals found in soil that plants need.
nitrogen oxides (NOx) helps to create ground-level ozone, and can also combine with other organic chemicals in the air to make some toxic chemicals. NOx is also a component that creates acid rain, which can damage plant leaves. Acid rain slows the growth of plants, and in extreme cases can kill the plant. Acid rain also causes some other metals/minerals (say, from car's paint or stone buildings) to leach into the soil, which may harm the plant. Acid rain also helps to wash out of the soil important minerals the plant may need to develop. NOx is also a greenhouse gas, which can cause climate change. NOx also reduces visibility/transmission of light, meaning that plants have less solar energy to use to produce food through photosynthesis.
Sulfur dioxide also causes haze, and is a component in acid rain.
Carbon monoxide helps to create ground-level ozone.

Is smog good for plants?
No, smog is not good for plants. It can block sunlight, prevent photosynthesis, and damage plant tissues. Additionally, pollutants in smog can be absorbed by plants, affecting their growth and development.
How does smog affect people?
please ask more mature questions there is no such word as smog
How does smog affect animals?
Smog can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat of animals, leading to respiratory problems and reduced lung function. It can also negatively impact their reproductive abilities, behavior, and overall health. In severe cases, prolonged exposure to smog can result in serious illnesses or even death in animals.
Where does smog come from?
Smog is caused by pollutants in the air. The source is often emissions from industrial plants and vehicles.
How does smog affect your Respiratory system?
smog effcts your respiratory system by you coughing kay wateves xD
How is photochemical smog formed and what harm can it cause?
Photochemical smog is formed when sunlight reacts with pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds from vehicle emissions. This reaction forms ground-level ozone and other harmful pollutants. Photochemical smog can cause respiratory issues, eye irritation, and damage to vegetation.
How does smog affect you?
smog affects me by creating many diseases and harmful things and sometimes it might be dangerous enough to give you cancer. And even sometimes while walking you can't see a thing because of the smog cased by pollution.
What can a city do to reduce smog?
Smog can have a number of effects. First, smog can affect people with respiratory problems, like asthma and bronchitis, by making them grow worse over time. It may contribute to lung cancer and chronic pulmonary disease as well. The oxidants of smog can cause eye irritation, increased coughing, and reduced athletic performance at a certain range. Smog can also affect agriculture because it is responsible for 2 plant diseases: smog injury and grape stipple. This can lead to serious economic consequences. Smog also causes the deterioration of materials. The first signs of it are cracking and the disintegration of stretched rubber. Paints and fabrics begin to lose their strength and color from the oxidants as well. Finally, smog can lead to decreased visibility. These are some reasons why cities are trying to reduce their smog levels.
