A kind of air pollution
 The terms “smog” is used to describe the
combination of smoke and fog
 Commonly referred as “polluted fog”
 Composed of nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxide,
ozone, smoke.
 Between December 5th and December 9th 1952
a great smog enveloped London, England.
Smog lasted for 4 days
 It was the worst fog/smog in history. It was the
usual fog that falls over London mixed together
with smoke and exhaust from near-by factories
and homes.
• This mixture was a deadly one and resulted
in the death of 12,000 people. Not much is
known as to what happened during those
five days, but once the smog lifted, the
damage could easily be seen. 4,000 people
had died either during the time the smog
was present or within a week after, and
people were still dying months after, so that
when the final death tally came in it was
right around 12,00 people dead.
8 December, 4,000 people had died as a
direct result of the smog and 100,000 more
were made ill by the smog's effects on the
human respiratory tract.
 Public transport ceased, the ambulance
service stopped, The smog was so dense
that it even seeped indoors, cancel of
concerts, film screenings, theater. Outdoor
sports events were also cancelled
 The people in London could hardly see,
their visibility went down to one foot, not
being able to see much.
 A period of cold weather, combined with
an anticyclone and windless condition,
collected airborne pollutants.
