During the photochemical smog NO and O3 both are produced but major production is of nitrogen oxide (NO) and NO2. The components of automobile exhaust are particularly important in the formation of atmospheric ozone and are the primary contributors to Los Angeles smog.

It tends to occur more often in summer, because that is when we have the most sunlight.
