Photochemical smog is manifested by several chemical, physical, and physiological symptoms, one of which is eye irritation. A compound of the peroxyacetyl nitrate-type (PAN), peroxybenzoyl nitrate (PBzN), has been synthesized and shown to be about 200 times more powerful an eye irritant than formaldehyde. In order to further characterize atmospheric eye irritation, several irritants of the PBzN-type have been investigated.
