Learn about primary and secondary sources of air pollution, explore how outdoor air quality is monitored by government agencies and see how climate, geography, industry, automobiles and other factors can contribute to the formation of photochemical smog. Does your community face air quality issues? The enormous challenge of regulating and reducing air pollution can be tackled at local, national and international levels.
