Ground-level ozone forms when pollutants from cars, factories, and other sources react chemically with sunlight.

Is it true that ground-level ozone forms when pollutants from cars, factories, and other sources react chemically with sunlight?

Yes. Ground-level ozone is a secondary pollutant formed when sunlight triggers photochemical reactions among pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds emitted from sources such as vehicles and industrial processes.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the fundamental atmospheric chemistry concept that ground-level (tropospheric) ozone is formed photochemically from precursors such as NOx and VOCs under solar radiation.
