A) ozone
B) nitrogen dioxide
C) carbon dioxide
D) PAN (Peroxy AcyI Nitrate)
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Photochemical smog is highly oxidising polluted atmosphere -comprising largely of ozone \[({{O}_{3}})\], oxides of nitrogen \[(N{{O}_{x}})\], hydrogen peroxide \[({{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}})\], organic peroxides, Peroxy Aceryl Nitrate (PAN) and Peroxy. Benzyl Nitrate (PBN). Some sulphates and nitrates can also be formed in photochemical smog due to oxidation of sulphur containig components \[(S{{O}_{2}},\,{{H}_{2}}S)\] and \[N{{O}_{x}}({{N}_{2}}{{O}_{5}},N{{O}_{2}})\] but it does not contain carbon di-oxide \[(C{{O}_{2}})\]. Photochemcial smog materials causes damage to plants, human health hazards and corrosion problems.
