Verified by Toppr

Photo chemical smog occurs in warm and dry climate by the action of sunlight on the oxides of nitrogen. NO2 and O3 are strong oxidizing agents. They react with unburnt hydrocarbons to produce formaldehyde, acrolein, and PAN i.e peroxyacetyl nitrate. These are the secondary compounds of photochemical smog.
