| Abstract | An outline of the photochemical smog problem is presented, with emphasis on the chemical reactions taking place in the polluted air. The chemistry is discussed in terms of (1) the organic pollutants, such as hydrocarbons, (2) the nitrogen containing pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide, and (3) the interaction of these two families of pollutants with the production of noxious by-products, such as ozone and particulate matter.
