A well-known example is the formation of ground-level ozone when UV light hits nitrogen oxides. The air pollutant is produced when fossil fuels and wood are burned, as well as indoors through vapours from adhesives used in furniture. The team hopes this will provide new findings about their effects in the atmosphere.
