The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement about photochemical smog is incorrect, we can analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Photochemical Smog**: - Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution that is formed when sunlight reacts with pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This reaction produces a mixture of pollutants, including ozone (O3), which is a significant component of photochemical smog. 2. **Evaluate Each Statement**: - **Option 1**: "It has high concentration of oxidizing agents." - This statement is **correct**. Photochemical smog is characterized by a high concentration of oxidizing agents, such as ozone and nitrogen oxides. - **Option 2**: "It has low concentration of oxidizing agents." - This statement is **incorrect**. Photochemical smog is known for having a high concentration of oxidizing agents, not low. Therefore, this is the wrong statement regarding photochemical smog. - **Option 3**: "It can be controlled by controlling the release of NO2, hydrocarbons, ozone, etc." - This statement is **correct**. By reducing the emissions of these pollutants, the formation of photochemical smog can be minimized. - **Option 4**: "Plantation of some plants like pinus helps in controlling photochemical smog." - This statement is **correct**. Certain plants can absorb pollutants and help improve air quality, thus contributing to the control of photochemical smog. 3. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement about photochemical smog is **Option 2**: "It has low concentration of oxidizing agents." ### Final Answer: The wrong statement about photochemical smog is Option 2: "It has low concentration of oxidizing agents." ---
