How can photochemical smog be controlled?

Options

  1. ABy using tall chimneys
  2. BBy complete combustion of fuel
  3. CBy using catalytic converters in the automobiles/industry
  4. DBy using catalyst

Correct answer

C. By using catalytic converters in the automobiles/industry

Step-by-step solution

Catalytic converters force CO and incompletely combusted hydrocarbons to react with a metal catalyst, typically platinum, to produce CO 2   and H 2 O . Additionally, catalytic converters reduce nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases into O 2 and N 2 , eliminating the cycle of ozone formation.
