  "term": "Smog Forming Pollutant",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "Smog forming pollution is created by two types of vehicle emissions - hydrocarbons (including non-methane organic compounds, or NMOG) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) - which, when combined with sunlight, form smog. Smog can irritate lungs, eyes, and other tissues. The Air Pollution Score reflects this type of pollution. The value represents pounds of NOx and NMOG emitted by the vehicle if it were driven 15,000 miles per year.",
