Which one of the following is not a common component of Photochemical Smog?

Options

  1. AOzone
  2. BAcrolein
  3. CPeroxyacetyl nitrate
  4. DChloroflurocarbons

Correct answer

D. Chloroflurocarbons

Step-by-step solution

Photochemical smog is a mixture of air pollutants which have been chemically altered into further noxious compounds by exposure to sunlight. The main components of photochemical smog are nitrogen oxides, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), tropospheric ozone, and PAN (peroxyacetyl nitrate). Chlorofluorocarbons are responsible for ozone layer depletion. Chlorofluorocarbon is not a component of the smog as it takes part in the depletion of the ozone layer. This depletion can result in climate changes but it is not par
