1.	How can you apply green chemistry for the following: to control photochemical smog.
Answer» Solution :The most easy way to reduce the FORMATION of photochemical smog is to minimise the release of oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons in to the atmosphere. The following methods can be USED to minimise the oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons. (i) By spraying certain compound into the atmosphere which generate free radicals that readily combine with the free radicals that initiate the reactions forming toxic compounds of the photochemical smog. The compound diethyl hydroxylamine has been found to posses smog inhibiting property. (ii) Certain plants such as junipurus, irtis, pinus, pyrus etc., can metabolise oxides of nitrogen. (III) By FITTING efficient CATALYTIC converters in automobiles, so the harmful gases are converted catalytically into harmless gases.
