Q. The photochemical smog can be suppressed by

A) Nitrogen oxides
B) Hydrocarbons
C) Radical trapes

Photochemical smog can be suppressed by radical traps. When the compounds are sprayed to the atmosphere, they generate free radicals which readily combine with free radical precursors of photochemical smog. Diethyl hydroxylamine has been found to possess smog inhibiting characteristics.
