Photochemical smog is the chemical reaction of sunlight, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere, which leaves airborne particles and ground-level ozone.
Being an irritant of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs, ozone is known to particularly affect asthmatics and people with respiratory problems.
The primary route of exposure to nitrogen oxides is by inhalation, but exposure by any route can cause systemic effects. Nitrogen oxides are irritating to the eyes, skin, nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
