Where did the word “smog” come from?

With very versatile and a special kind of smell, you are unable to see other things on small distance, after that it became known as smog after mixing Fog and Smoke and produced by the burning of large amounts of coal in London in the early 1900s. This form of air pollution includes sulfur oxide, ozone as well as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and other elements, which causes pollution in the form of smoke coming out of industries and vehicles.

  1. For once, I still live in a fairly clean country … we almost don’t know the smog … we have great air in the countryside and between forests and mountains

  2. Fortunately, smog as originally experienced is not a problem in London since the banning of domestic coal fires. However, vehicle exhaust, especially from diesel engines, is a major pollution hazard. It is noticeable that many London drivers have now turned to electric vehicles – these are not subject to the congestion charge that other drivers must pay.

  3. I live by the coast so tend not to get smog here. I know it can be terrible in some city’s of the world though. I can understand why it’s bad for people’s health.
