This mixture of smoke and fog is called smog.
- Smog is a form of air pollution and results from the combination of smoke and fog in air.
- Primarily, smog is generated as a result of burning of fossil fuel such as coal in any area. It is formed when smoke gets mixed with sulfur dioxide.
- It is quite prevalent in the industrial areas.
- However, nowadays, what we see as smog is mainly photochemical smog, which formed by the effect of solar ultraviolet rays on oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons present in the atmosphere.
