4. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution in the troposphere of our planet produced when sunlight
acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances such as ozone (O3). For example,
nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with atmospheric oxygen (O2) in the presence of light to produce ozone (O3)
and nitrogen monoxide (NO).
