A secondary pollutant is formed when primary pollutants undergo chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Examples include ozone, formed from the reaction of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, and sulfuric acid, formed from the reaction of sulfur dioxide and other compounds in the atmosphere.
Nitrogen oxide is considered a primary pollutant because it is directly emitted into the atmosphere from sources such as vehicles and industrial processes.
Ground ozone is considered a secondary pollutant because it is not directly emitted into the atmosphere, but forms through chemical reactions involving primary pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.
No, formaldehyde is not considered a primary pollutant. It is a secondary pollutant that forms in the atmosphere as a result of chemical reactions involving primary pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides.
No, carbon monoxide (CO) is not considered a primary pollutant. It is a secondary pollutant that forms from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and is primarily produced by vehicles and industrial processes.
Ozone is not a primary pollutant. It is formed in the atmosphere as a secondary pollutant through reactions involving primary pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.
No. Hydrocarbon is a Primary pollutant.
Volcanic gases and ash are two examples of secondary pollutant
The ozone at ground level is a pollutant. It acts as a secondary pollutant.
Nitrogen oxide is considered a primary pollutant because it is directly emitted into the atmosphere from sources such as vehicles and industrial processes.
secondary pollutant because of the it extracts a gas / smoke that contributed to global warming .
Ground ozone is considered a secondary pollutant because it is not directly emitted into the atmosphere, but forms through chemical reactions involving primary pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.
yes it is
Ozone is a pollutant. It is a secondary one. High ozone is good.
Ozone is called a secondary pollutant because it is not directly emitted into the atmosphere. Instead, it is formed from chemical reactions between primary pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight. These reactions produce ozone as a secondary byproduct, which can be harmful to human health and the environment.
The ozone layer itself is not a pollutant; it is a protective layer in the Earth's stratosphere that shields us from harmful UV radiation. However, ground-level ozone, formed by the reaction of sunlight with pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, is a secondary pollutant that can be harmful to human health and the environment.
Primary pollutants are pollutants that enters the air directly from a source and Secondary pollutants are air pollutantsproduced by the reaction of a primary pollutant with some other pollutant
No, formaldehyde is not considered a primary pollutant. It is a secondary pollutant that forms in the atmosphere as a result of chemical reactions involving primary pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides.
