factory smoke

Smokestacks belching gray

Factory smoke is the emissions that rise from industrial smokestacks—the visible plumes of combustion byproducts released during manufacturing.

The image evokes industrial-era pollution: soot, ash, and toxic gases darkening urban skies.

The factory smoke hung over the valley for days.

The term often carries negative connotations of environmental damage and health hazards.
