Question:

Some reactions of $NO _2$ relevant to photochemical smog formation are 

photochemical smog formation

Identify $A , B , X$ and $Y$

Updated On: Jul 6, 2024
  • $X =[ O ], Y = NO , A = O _2, B = O _3$
  • $X = N _2 O , Y =[ O ], A = O _3, B = NO$
  • $X =\frac{1}{2} O _2, Y = NO _2, A = O _3, B = O _2$
  • $X = NO , Y =[ O ], A = O _2, B = N _2 O _3$

  • Pollutants may be solids, liquids, or gases that are present in large quantities in nature and produced due to human activities or natural circumstances.
  • For instance, materials such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), heavy metals, chemicals, plastic materials, nuclear waste, etc., once disclosed to the environment it is difficult to remove.

Causes of Atmospheric Pollution:

There is a number of factors that contribute to the pollution of the environment. Some of the major causes of atmospheric pollution are given below -

  • Industrial waste
  • Usage of pesticides
  • Deforestation
  • Combustion of fuels
  • Nuclear Explosions
  • Use of Toxic Solvents
