Which one of the following is not a common component of Photochemical smog?

  1. Ozone
  2. Acrolein
  3. Peroxyacetyl nitrate
  4. Chlorofluorocarbons

Answer

(4) Chlorofluorocarbons

Solution

As per NCERT, the common components of photochemical smog are ozone, nitric oxide, acrolein, formaldehyde and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN).

⇒ Chlorofluorocarbons are not formed in photochemical smog; they are responsible for the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer.

∴ Chlorofluorocarbons are not a component of photochemical smog.
