The Causes and Effects of Industrial and Photochemical Smog Effects of Photochemical Smog Photochemical smog's effects cause damage to the respiratory system and environmental systems with the release of nitrogen oxide (NO), ozone and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The Major Chemical Found in Smog Precursors of Photochemical Smog. Ozone, the most common chemical in urban smog, is the result of a complex photochemical reaction between nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. The main source of nitrogen oxide pollution is motor vehicle exhaust, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.n the early 1900's, the British coined the term 'smog' to describe the thick, sulfuric smoke that spewed from London's industrial chimneys and hung in the fog. Today's smog also contains sulfur, but the major chemical in fog is ground-level ozone, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

- Photorespiration is a process of metabolic pathway that consumes oxygen, releases carbon dioxide, generates no ATP, and decreases photosynthetic output; generally occurs on hot, dry, bright days, when stomata close and the oxygen concentration in the leaf exceeds that of carbon dioxide.hotorespiration occurs because Rubisco can utilize O2 as a substrate instead of CO2. It means when stomata partially close on hot day, dry day, CO2 levels drop as CO­2 is consumed in the Calvin cycle.

What is Smog? Effects of Smog. Smog is harmful and it is evident from the components that form it and effects that can happen from it. It is harmful to humans, animals, plants and the nature as a whole. Many people deaths were recorded, notably those relating to bronchial diseases.Heavy smog is responsible for decreasing the UV radiation greatly.mog is well known for causing irritation in the eye. It may also result in inflammation in the tissues of lungs; giving rise to pain in the chest. Other issues or illnesses such as cold and pneumonia are also related to smog. The human body faces great difficulty in defending itself against the harmful effects of smog.

- The increase in ultraviolet light hitting the surface also potentially affects global warming, as some of that extra energy is trapped as heat by the waters of the world's oceans. In addition, one of the byproducts of the breakdown of ozone by CFCs is carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a known greenhouse gas.

The Lethal London Smog Event 5th-9th December 1952 Health effects of the London smog event of 1952. Ever since the 1952 London smog event, there has been numerous studies proving that inhaling high levels of air pollutants endangers your health. Unfortunately, for the residents of London, no one including the government officials realised this link. Even though there was numerous cars on the road in the days leading to the smog event, it has been shown that car exhaust fumes made only a minor contribution up until the third day of the 1952 London smog episode.

Difference Between Industrial Smog & Photochemical Smog Both industrial smog and photochemical smog are forms of air pollution. Although both appear to the eye as yellow-brown haze, they differ in two key ways: chemistry and composition.ccording to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, photochemical smog is a mixture of pollutants that form when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react to sunlight, creating a haze that is common over cities.

Difference Between Industrial Smog & Photochemical Smog Industrial smog typically exists in urban areas where factories burn fossil fuels such as coal, which creates smoke and sulfur dioxide that mix with fog droplets to create a thick blanket of haze close to the ground.

- AJ said. Bleach is a strong oxidizer, and steal contains a good amount of iron; I would throw it out, because even if you can get the coil out and a heavy-duty sander to it to remove the outer rust layer, altering the coil like that would void any warranties and make the kettle very unsafe for use.n top of that, bleach can react with some plastics, or at the very least could sink into it (so if your kettle’s plastic—as I believe the majority of electric kettles are).

The Causes and Effects of Smog Ironically, smog is often more severe farther away from the sources of pollution, because the chemical reactions that cause smog take place in the atmosphere while pollutants are drifting on the wind.

What Is Smog? Today, smog generally refers to photochemical smog, which is the haze created when sunlight reacts with nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds that can be found in fossil fuel emissions from automobiles, factories, and power plants.

What causes photochemical smog? It can also harm plants and other living things. Photochemical smog is formed by the action of sunlight on pollutants such as hydroc … arbons and nitrogen oxides. these chemicals react to form a brownish mixture of ozone and other pollutants.

Global Dimming Fossil fuel use, as well as producing greenhouse gases, creates other by-products. These by-products are also pollutants, such as sulphur dioxide, soot, and ash. These pollutants however, also change the properties of clouds. Clouds are formed when water droplets are seeded by air-borne particles, such as pollen.

What Is Smog? Smog also tends to affect children and the elderly. The effects of smog aren't limited to people, though. Scientists know that smog also affects plants and animals. Smog pollution has been known to damage crops, as well as to cause health problems in pets and farm animals.

Oxidation emission of electromagnetic radiation during the course of chemical reactions. Such radiation, whether ultraviolet, visible, or infrared, is most commonly generated by oxidation. The radiation can usually be ascribed to the transfer of the oxidation energy to a molecule that is itself not undergoing oxidation.

What is Smog? Smog is a yellowish or blackish fog formed mainly by a mixture of pollutants in the atmosphere which consists of fine particles and ground level ozone. Smog which occurs mainly because of air pollution, can also be defined as a mixture of various gases with dust and water vapor.mog is well known for causing irritation in the eye. It may also result in inflammation in the tissues of lungs; giving rise to pain in the chest. Other issues or illnesses such as cold and pneumonia are also related to smog. The human body faces great difficulty in defending itself against the harmful effects of smog.

How does photochemical smog differ from industrial smog? Industrial smog occurs when the smoke and sulfur dioxide produced from burning coal merges with fog and creates a yellowish-brown-colored haze close to ground level. Photochemical smog forms as the result of increased usage of all fossil fuels, including gasoline and the burning of trees and organic waste.

- Source of the Primary Pollutants-Photochemical Smog. 1  Mobile sources (such as automobiles) are the largest sources of CO to the atmosphere. 2  Stationary industrial sources are the largest source of particulate matter (PM).

- The dual role of ozone leads to two separate environmental issues. There is concern about increases in ozone in the troposphere. Near-surface ozone is a key component of photochemical smog, a familiar problem in the atmosphere of many cities around the world.

- Ozone and photochemical pollutants also heighten the acidifying potential of sulphur and nitrogen oxides by accelerating their oxidation into sulphates and nitrates. Oxidising pollution and acid pollution act in combination on plants and contribute to forest degradation.

Effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions The effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions include global warming, ocean acidification, smog pollution, ozone depletion and altered plant health, all contributing to global climate change. The main effect of increased greenhouse gas emissions is global warming. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases all help trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere as a part of the greenhouse effect. The Earth's natural greenhouse effect makes life as we know it possible. However, human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have intensified the greenhouse effect, causing global warming.1. Effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions. Increases in the different greenhouse gases have other effects apart from global warming including ocean acidification, smog pollution, ozone depletion as well as changes to plant growth and nutrition levels.

- Unfortunately, pollution is creating two ozone-related problems: 1  Certain pollutants deplete ozone in the stratosphere, exposing us to unhealthy levels of ultraviolet radiation. 2  Human-related emissions are spurring the formation of harmful ground-level ozone, which is a major contributor to smog.
