smog reduction

Lessening air pollution

Smog reduction refers to efforts or measures that decrease the concentration of smog—the hazy air pollution formed when vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, and sunlight combine.

The phrase appears in policy discussions and environmental reporting: The city's smog reduction plan includes stricter emissions standards.

It can describe both the goal and the process of achieving cleaner air.
