Today, in most cities smoke and exhaust fumes fill the air and endanger the health and well-
being of the people. Smoke and exhaust fumes contain harmful by-products from gasoline burned in cars

and exhaust fumes mixed with fog. To control air pollution, smoke ordinances have been passed.
Smoke-belching vehicles are checked and factories are required to reduce fumes emanating from them.

suddenly got a terrified look on his face. Julio was disappointed that night as he ate his dinner.
