SOURCES

The combustion ofgasoline and other hydrocarbonfuels in automobiles, trucks, and jet airplanes producesseveral primary pollutants: nitrogen oxides, gaseoushydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide, as well as large

quantities of particulates, chiefly lead. In the presenceof sunlight, nitrogen oxides combine withhydrocarbons to form a secondary class of pollutants,the photochemical oxidants, among them ozone and

the eye-stinging peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN).
