Which one of the following statements regarding photochemical smog is not correct?
Which one of the following statements regarding photochemical smog is not correct?
Updated On: Jul 1, 2024
- Carbon monoxide does not play any role in photochemical smog formation
- Photochemical smog is an oxidising agent in character
- Photochemical smog is formed through photochemical reaction involving solar energy
- Photochemical smog does not cause irritation in eyes and throat
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Photochemical smog is formed in warm and sunny climate during day time by the action of sunlight on primary pollutants. It contains nitrogen
oxides, ozone, PAN, etc., which are oxidising in nature. So, photochemical smog is an oxidising agent in character. It causes irritation in eyes and throat.
