urban smog
Metropolitan air pollution
Urban smog is the hazy, polluted air that hangs over cities, created when vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, and sunlight react to form a toxic mix of ozone and particulates.
The term blends smoke and fog.
Smog reduces visibility, irritates lungs, and worsens on hot, still days: The urban smog was so thick you couldn't see the skyline.
