Ozone, for example, is a secondary pollutant. If forms when, exposed to sunlight, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides (NOx) combine molecularly. The "x"
in the chemical notation for nitrogen oxides denotes that the number of oxygen atoms in the molecule can change. Nitrogen oxide 2 (NO2) itself is a secondary pollutant.
If forms when oxygen from the air contributes extra atom of oxygen when combines with the NO creating NO2. Both Nitrogen and Oxygen, of course, are essential for life
on earth as we know it. Ozone, in contrast, has the potential to change life on earth as we know it. Increasing ozone buildup is associated with the
so-called greenhouse effect and this can change world climate (Sherry, Xuhui Zhou, Shiliang Gu, Arnone III, Schimel, Verburg, Wallace and Luo, 2007). Because the world has evolved in response
to very specific climatic factors, these changes can be devastating(Sherry, Xuhui Zhou, Shiliang Gu, Arnone III, Schimel, Verburg, Wallace and Luo, 2007).
Sulfur dioxide is another very concerning air pollutant. Sulfur dioxide is one of the major pollutants generated in the production of electricity from coal-fired power plants and is a
pollutant of particular concern in the Midwest as that is where most of these plants are located. As a consequence of the continued emission problems EPA required the development
