smoggier
Thicker with fumes
Smoggier is the comparative form of smoggy, meaning more filled with or affected by smog—the hazy air pollution typical of industrial cities.
Los Angeles used to be smoggier before emissions controls.
The word can also describe anything resembling smog: The bar got smoggier as the night wore on.
