Photochemical Smog Formation (NO₂ Photolysis)
NO2 → NO + O·
概述
Sunlight (< 420 nm) photolyzes nitrogen dioxide to produce nitric oxide and an oxygen atom. The oxygen atom then reacts with O₂ to form ground-level ozone. Combined with volatile organic compounds from vehicle exhaust, this initiates the complex photochemical smog cycle that plagues urban areas.
