London-type smog, also known as "industrial smog," is a type of air pollution characterized by a mixture of smoke, fog, and sulfur dioxide, resulting in thick, grayish haze. It is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels, particularly coal, which releases large amounts of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter into the atmosphere. This phenomenon was particularly prevalent in London during the 19th and mid-20th centuries, especially in winter when coal use for heating peaked, leading to health issues and reduced visibility. The introduction of cleaner energy sources and stricter air quality regulations has significantly reduced the occurrence of this type of smog in modern times.
