industrial smog
Manufacturing air pollution
Industrial smog is air pollution produced by burning fossil fuels, especially coal, in factories and power plants.
It consists primarily of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, creating the gray, hazy conditions that plagued cities like London and Pittsburgh during heavy industrialization.
Distinguished from photochemical smog, which forms from vehicle exhaust reacting with sunlight.
