2. We don’t have much smog in our country. I live in a rural area where the air is even cleaner.

   • Rural are is quite safe .

     • Rural areas are mostly safe due to enough plantation

3. I guess Bhutan is one place that can boast of a very clean atmosphere. But there is trouble everywhere.

5. you are right of course, I simply showed Shanghai pictures that I have because it looked like fog but was in fact Smog.

   Any location that is between two temperature-controlled areas will, in fact, have an issue. In the US that includes:
   LA
   San Francisco
   Boston (at times)
   NYC (at times)
   Chicago (at times)

   IT is a huge and growing global problem thank you for posting.

     • having been to old town you deserve your own nation for the food there alone!

       • That all depends on which decade you are talking about. When I was a teen, you didn’t go to old town. It was very dangerous. Now days, it is all refurbished and cleaned up, the restaurants are amazingly good. I know you were stationed here. Have you been back?

6. in LA, it is a huge problem…

     • if it effects your visibility, what is it doing to your lungs?

       • Smog can cause or aggravate health problems such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and other respiratory problems as well as eye irritation and reduced resistance to colds and lung infections.

         • right. my point was if it is bad enough to limit visibility, it must be even worse for your lungs…
