Which of the following is NOT a primary air pollutant?

The correct answer is
Ozone

The correct answer is Option 1: Ozone.

Why Ozone is the Correct Answer

Air pollutants are divided into two main categories:

Primary Pollutants: Emitted directly into the atmosphere from a source (like car exhaust or factories). Examples include Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen oxides, and Sulfur dioxide.

Secondary Pollutants: These are not emitted directly. Instead, they form in the air when primary pollutants chemically react with each other and sunlight.

Ground-level Ozone is a secondary pollutant. It is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight.
