Which of the following statements about photochemical smog is wrong?

AIt has high concentration of oxidising agents.
BIt has low concentration of oxidising agent.
Correct Answer
CIt can be controlled by controlling the release of $$NO_{2}$$, hydrocarbons, ozone etc.
DPlantation of some plants like pinus helps in controlling photochemical smog.

Solution

Smog contains large concentration of oxidizing agents like $$NO_2$$ and $$O_3$$. So it is oxidizing in nature.

Smog is made up of many chemicals including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SOx), carbon monoxide (CO),and Ozone. Controlling these will reduce Smog.

Pine trees take up a variety of air pollutants, including both ozone and nitrogen oxides, which reduces the ambient concentrations thus reduces smog.

The correct answer is option B.
