The difference between industrial and photochemical smog is that photochemical smog
is produced by stationary sources rather than mobile ones
contains secondary pollutants formed under the influence of UV radiation from the sun
contains carbon dioxide
is not related to coal burning

To explain: The roles of photosynthesis, cellular
respiration, combustion, and erosion in the carbon
cycle.
