    Solution
    Photochemical smog occurs in warm, dry and sunny climate. The main components of the photochemical smog result from the action of sunlight on unsaturated hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds  and nitrogen oxides produced by automobiles and factories. Photochemical smog has high concentration of oxidising agents and is, therefore, called as oxidising smog.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is most likely the result of decreasing levels of ozone in the stratosphere?
    Solution
    The stratosphere, continues from 10 km to about 50 km. Most atmospheric ozone is concentrated in a layer in the stratosphere, about 15-30 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This ozone layer in the Earth’s stratosphere absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation that may cause skin cancer. Thus decreasing levels of ozone in the stratosphere may result in an increase in the occurrence of skin cancer in humans.
