A mixture of smoke and fog is called smog.

During the Industrial Revolution Smog became a major health concern in some European cities such as London (predominantly lung disease and breathing disorders).

Smog can cause deterioration of structures and historical landmarks as the chemicals in the fog are slightly acidic (or sometimes alkaline), this can cause the structures to start to decompose and become stained.

In modern times there are still many large industrialized cities which are faced with the continual problem of smog, particularly areas in South East Asia and China
