Ozone pollution near Earth’s surface is one of the main ingredients of summertime smog. It is also not directly measurable from space due to the abundance of ozone higher in the atmosphere, which obscures measurements of surface ozone. —Jin et al.

Furthermore, airborne chemicals that originate inside a house don’t stay there: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from products such as shampoo, perfume and cleaning solutions eventually escape outside and contribute to ozone and fine particle formation, making up an even greater source of global atmospheric air pollution than cars and trucks do.

Emissions from automobile exhaust systems have decreased in recent years due to the introduction of cleaner fuels and new control technologies on internal combustion engines, as well as increases in numbers of hybrid and electric vehicles. HEI receives balanced funding from government and industry.

This category of emissions is the largest source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by automobiles, which are a main source of haze, ozone, and particulate matter. If fuel vapor is released into the atmosphere, it contributes to a category of pollutants known as evaporative emissions.

Other research has shown that carbonyls directly influence physiological response to diesel exhaust particles and can also contribute to secondary organic aerosol formation. lower ozone formation potential of the carbonyl compounds present than DF under the identical operating conditions.

systems in areas classified “Serious,” “Severe,” or “Extreme” for nonattainment of the ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). Gasoline-rich vapors in an empty automobile fuel tank are forced out when liquid gasoline is pumped into the tank. The CAA requires states to implement Stage II gasoline vapor recovery.

James Donaldson, is a mixture of thousands of chemical compounds spewed into the air by automobiles, factories and a host of other sources. When in the air, these compounds may combine with volatile organic compounds to produce ozone, the main component of smog. Among these compounds are nitrogen oxides. —James Donaldson.
