photochemical Smog

Photochemical is the brown haze that develops in the sunny cities. This smog is caused by sunlight on pollutants, which are particulates, nitrogen oxide, ozone, aldehydes, peroxyethanoyl nitrate, and hydrocarbons. They also react, from a brownish mixture of ozone and other pollutants. The ozone also blocks ultraviolet radiation, which protects living things on Earth. How ever in the troposphere, ozone is a pollutant that can irritate the eyes, throat,  lungs, and plants.

Our pollution differed because yours reacted to light from chemicals like peroxyethanoyl nitrate. Mine was by Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides.
