Hydrocarbons can be oxidized to form a peroxy radical which can oxidize NO to NO2. We know that this reaction exists and peroxy radicals are present because when the NO is gone, we start to see the end product. 5, record 1, English, - alkyldioxidanyl

Attaqués par un radical HO, les hydrocarbures donnent naissance à des radicaux alcoyles (R) qui, par une série de réactions rapides avec l'oxygène de l'air, conduisent à la formation de radicaux peroxyles RO2 et HO2 lesquels, à leur tour, oxydent rapidement NO en NO2 avec régénération du radical OH. Cette réaction d'oxydation de NO en NO2 court-circuite ainsi celle de NO avec O3 et l'ozone peut s'accumuler. 6, record 1, French, - alkyldioxidanyle
