Air pollutants are hard to get treated as there are no such solutions to target specific pollution, causing agents in the environment. Photochemical smog is an example of that; people often find it similar to common smog formed from the burning of fossil fuels in the environment. However, it is formed from the chemical reaction between an atmospheric pollutant and ultraviolet light rays from the sun. Hydrogen and Nitrous Oxide are two primary components of photochemical smog. Still, people search for conventional smog removal techniques to combat the effects of it in the environment.

Finding an accurate solution to the problem is possible only if you are aware of the source and the reason behind that!

Cause and Treatment of Photochemical Smog with Advanced Technology

Photochemical smog is an extensive spread problem all over the world. It occurs when nitrogen oxides and other volatile organic compound reacts with each other in the presence of sunlight as a catalyst and form a layer of smog at a lower level. The nitrogen oxide emission from vehicle exhausts is introduced into the atmosphere, which, when combining with oxygen, forms a layer of ozone.

Composition of photochemical smog

The photochemical smog mostly consists of oxides of nitrogen. The nitrogen in the air, when exposed to ultraviolet rays, goes through a complex series of reactions. The reaction with hydrocarbons leads to the formation of smog- which is a combination of nitric acid, aldehydes, peroxy acyl nitrates, ozone, and other secondary pollutants.

Effects of photochemical smog

Photochemical smog is exceptionally unhealthy. The main constituent of photochemical smog, the NOx, ozone, and peroxy acyl nitrates, are capable of reacting with any environmental pollutants. The components of this smog can oxidize certain compounds to pollute the environment more. Even they can enter the lungs and affect the respiratory tract, cause skin irritation, eye infection. One can face long-time respiratory problems and visibility issues due to nitrous oxide present in the photochemical smog.

Treatment of Photochemical Smog

To treat photochemical smog means a solution for NOx removal in the atmosphere. One of the most predominating solutions for it is nanotechnology advanced photocatalytic NOx removal coating.

Nano photocatalytic coating developed by TiPE is an exceptionally safe and reliable solution for all environmental-related problems. It considers the unbelievable properties of nanoparticles with photochemical oxidation reaction in the presence of sunlight, which helps to break the pollution, causing compounds in organic and environmentally friendly components. And, just for a reason, it’s one of the trusted and verified solutions for NOx removal in residential, commercial buildings and public properties such as roads.

Nano photocatalytic coating can

• Reduce photochemical pollutants
• Purifies car exhausts like NOx and El Nino
• Destroys VOCs from car exhaust
• Reduces the PM2.5 readings
• Save a lot of public road maintenance cost
• Acts as a sound barrier, the crash barrier because of self-cleaning, anti-mildew features
• Applicable in carbon trading project working under the Kyoto Protocol
• Applicable to buildings for air purification around the area.

Several other benefits are there in favor of personal and government properties. This is a hint of contributions to the NOx removal technique.

Bottom Line

TiPE can help you in several ways, controlling photochemical smog or normal smog in the most efficient way is the specialty. Find more information about the Nano photocatalytic coating from the experts directly.
