Well, it's especially bad during the summertime, I guess. High, stable barometric pressure would also add to it, since stable pressure means calm weather, and calm weather meanspollution gets trapped in one area for a long time with no wind to carry it elsewhere. High heat contributes to this as well. However, even with all of these conditions, the breathing conditions would be their worst in the early mornings. Over night, as the air cools off, heavy elements comprising the smog fall to the ground and can collect in fog or dew. As the day goes on and temperatures rise, so does the smog. So my (educated) guess is early morning. Especially since right now, it's nearly 8am and the air outside smells like crap and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's been a week-long heat wave where I live, and the smog has built up so much that you can't see the two major mountains in the area (normally quite visible).
The dirty haze that forms when pollution combines with moisture in the air is known as smog. Smog is a harmful mixture of pollutants, such as ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter, that can have negative impacts on human health and the environment.
Smog appears as a thick haze or fog that is a mixture of smoke and fog, hence the name "smog." It often has a yellowish or gray color and can make the air appear murky or dirty. Smog can also reduce visibility and create a distinctive smell.
smoggiest or smog! smog is a mixture of smoke and fog!! and pollution!
No, smog is not good for plants. It can block sunlight, prevent photosynthesis, and damage plant tissues. Additionally, pollutants in smog can be absorbed by plants, affecting their growth and development.
Things that cause air pollution: cigarette smoking, some public transport (cars, buses etc...) The effect of air pollution is that it could end our world, there are several ways of stopping air pollution. Inhaling petrol or diesel fumes could damage your lungs and possibly kill you because of the chemicals are poisonous to humans and other kinds of life on earth. Transportation is a contributor to the worst cases of air pollution in the form of heavy smog. Along with weather conditions, many of the factors above contribute to the smog in major cities. London's Great Smog of 1952 was one of the worst examples. On that year, starting on December 5th, the city was covered with smog for 4 days. Together, excessive use of coal, high atmospheric pressure, light winds and freezing temperatures all caused smog to settle over London. That contributed to many deaths due to respiratory failure. The death toll was estimated around 4000. People couldn't breathe nor see because the smog even entered buildings. A good second place contender is natural incidents. In 1986, around 1700 were killed by a blanket of CO2 gas which came from around a volcano. Most died in their sleep. There are many ways volcanoes can kill, and this was somewhat unique. Lake Nyos, at 690 feet deep, was heavy enough to keep a lot of CO2 dissolved in it. So the chimney effect of the surrounding volcano caused the gas to concentrate the way it did.
Nuclear fission does not produce smog. Nevertheless, the use of nuclear power does not have a zero carbon footprint, and there is unquestionably smog associated with it. In the United States, nearly all enrichment of uranium is done at a facility that is powered by a coal burning power plant said to be the worst polluting coal plant in the country. This, of course, produces smog. The mining, refining, and transportation of uranium are all done with equipment typically dependent on petroleum products, and this produces smog. Building a power plant and decommissioning a power also depend on petroleum for fuel, and so there is smog associated with this. And since we have no idea how to deal with the waste nuclear fuel, we cannot even comment on smog associated with it. But the actual nuclear fission does not produce any smog at all.
Smog abatement means reducing the amount or intensity of smog.

Smog abatement means reducing the amount or intensity of smog.
Yes, there are two main types of smog: "photochemical smog" and "sulfurous smog." Photochemical smog forms in areas with a high concentration of automobile emissions, sunlight, and warm temperatures, while sulfurous smog is caused by the burning of coal and oil, emitting sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere.
Photochemical smog is a type of smog made when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides mix with sunlight.
You see L.A. when the smog goes away. The smog is becoming unbearable.
cities are affected by smog
I don't think smoggish is a word, but smog is?
A dirty haze resulting from air pollution and air moisture is called smog.
Yes. California has a lot of smog.
