When weather conditions and sunlight are likely to produce smog, cities may ask motorists to refuel their cars at night instead of early in the day. Why would this behavior make a difference?
When weather conditions and sunlight are likely to produce smog, cities may ask motorists to refuel their cars at night instead of early in the day. Why would this behavior make a difference?
SMOG FORMS WHEN CHEMICALS REACT WITH SUNLIGHT. AT NIGHT, THE SUN IS NOT SHINING SO LESS SMOG WOULD FORM.
