1.) Smog is a kind of air pollution, originally named for the mixture of smoke and fog in the air.

Classic
smog results from large amounts of coal burning in an area and is caused by a mixture of smoke and
sulfur dioxide.

2.) Photochemical smog occurs in drier, sunny areas and forms because of increased usage of all fossil
fuels, including gasoline, and the burning of trees and organic waste.

Industrial smog typically exists in urban areas where factories burn fossil fuels such as coal, which
creates smoke and sulfur dioxide that mix with fog droplets to create a thick blanket of haze close to the
ground.
