Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
DEF

Pollution in the form of photochemical smog caused mainly by ozone in the lower atmosphere.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution de l'air
DEF

Pollution qui se manifeste sous forme de smog photo-oxydant et dont le précurseur principal est l'ozone présent dans la basse atmosphère.

OBS

L'ozone troposphérique est un facteur de pollution alors que l'ozone stratosphérique, au contraire, subit la pollution des composés chlorés, en particulier des hydrocarbures halogénés. On se référerait au problème environnemental de la stratosphère en utilisant le terme pollution de l'ozone plutôt que pollution par l'ozone.
