Ground Level Ozone

Photochemical Smog: This term refers to a mixture of pollutants including ground level ozone that forms when sunlight reacts with emissions from vehicles and industrial processes.

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx): These are gases produced by burning fossil fuels, primarily from vehicle engines and power plants. They contribute to the formation of ground level ozone.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): VOCs are organic chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. They come from various sources such as paints, solvents, and gasoline vapors. VOCs also play a role in the formation of ground level ozone.
