smog inhalation

Gulping dirty air

Smog inhalation is breathing air heavily polluted with smog—the hazy mixture of smoke, vehicle exhaust, and industrial emissions that hangs over cities.

The term appears in medical and environmental contexts discussing respiratory health risks: Smog inhalation can trigger asthma attacks.

Prolonged exposure is linked to lung disease and cardiovascular problems.
