The majority of tropospheric ozone formation occurs when nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as xylene, react in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight containing ultra violet rays. NOx, CO, and VOCs are called ozone precursors. CO + 2O2 + CO2+O3
