	Secondary pollutants are concerning as they can be formed from many different [[compound]]s. The phenomena of [[photochemical smog]] (seen in high density cities, see Figure 1) is a result of the interactions of primary pollutants with other [[molecule]]s in the [[air]] such as [[molecular oxygen]], [[water]] and [[hydrocarbon]]s. These combine to form yellow clouds that are harmful to humans. [[Photochemical smog]] is made up of various secondary pollutants like [[ozone]], [[peroxyacyl nitrate]]s (PANs), and nitric [[acid]] (seen in Figure 2).
