Sun, Cities and Smog

Synopsis: New York, Athens and Los Angeles all suffer from photochemical smog. The combination of bright sunlight and car exhaust fumes starts a complex chain reaction involving the production of nitrogen dioxide and ozone - two of the many components in photochemical smog. Filmed in Southern California, in particular at the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center, where research is being undertaken into how photochemical smog is formed, using sensitive techniques such as Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy.

They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
