Photochemical smog is a mixture of pollutants that are formed when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react to sunlight. Consider the following about VOCs:
1. VOCs are produced from the evaporation of naturally-occurring compounds such as terpenes or eucalypts.
2. VOCs are formed from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, from the evaporation of solvents and fuels, and from burning plant matter.

Photochemical smog is a mixture of pollutants that are formed when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react to sunlight, creating a brown haze above cities. It tends to occur more often in summer, because that is when we have the most sunlight. While nitrogen oxides and VOCs are produced biogenically (in nature), there are also major anthropogenic (man-made) emissions of both. Natural emissions tend to be spread over large areas, reducing their effects, but man-made emissions tend to be concentrated close to their source, such as a city. Biogenic sources In nature, bushfires, lightning and the microbial processes that occur in soil generate nitrogen oxides. VOCs are produced from the evaporation of naturally-occurring compounds, such as terpenes, which are the hydrocarbons in oils that make them burn. Eucalypts have also been found to release significant amounts of these compounds. Anthropogenic sources Nitrogen oxides are produced mainly from the combustion of fossil fuels, particularly in power stations and motor vehicles. VOCs are formed from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, from the evaporation of solvents and fuels, and from burning plant matter—such as backyard burning and wood-burning stoves. THINK!
