Oxidation of photochemically reactive VOCs forms highly reactive chemical species known
as free radicals, which are capable of converting NO to NO2 without
destruction of O3. Impacts of High Levels of Ozone
Anything that is susceptible to oxidation is a potential target for the adverse effects
of O3.
