I was browsing the internet and found this article which is a very good summary of our class discussion on Monday. It talks about the effects of VOCs and PM on human health and how death rates are thought to increase within Los Angeles in the coming years. It also touches on the idea that although air quality has significantly improved in Los Angeles, each year brings new research showing just how dangerous photochemical smog and other air pollution is, causing a need to increase the restriction of emissions.
This article lays out the material covered in Chapter 5 in a very understandable way. It shows how NO released from cars reacts with other chemicals in the air to produce photochemical smog using written equations and diagrams.
