Linkages with other issues

O3

The air issues associated with ground-level ozone are:

  • Smog (ground-level ozone, along with PM, are the two primary components of smog)
  • Acid Rain, (NOx, one of the two pollutants primarily responsible for acid rain, is also a precursor pollutant to ground-level ozone formation)
  • HAPs (ozone has been determined to be toxic under CEPA 1999; in addition numerous individual VOCs, some of which contribute to ozone formation, have been determined to be CEPA 1999 toxic)
