There are two main types of smog: photochemical and sulphurous. Photochemical smog is common in urban areas. It is produced from car exhaust, coal power plants, factory emissions, and other sources.

BC sources are emitted from household energy (51%), transport (26%), agriculture (8%), industrial production (5%), waste (5%), fossil fuel operations (3%), and large-scale combustion (2%). BC is also an important contributor to climate change because it is very effective at absorbing light and heating its surroundings.

PM can come from a direct source such as power plants, factories, constructions, stoves, and heaters. It can also be formed as a result from chemical and physical reaction with other compounds like sulfur dioxide (SO<sub>2<\/sub>), nitrogen oxides (NO<sub>x<\/sub>), ammonia (NH<sub>3<\/sub>), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
