What Is Smog?
Smog, or photo chemical smog, is produced when sunlight and nitrogen oxide react to minuscule particles. If particles are inhaled, they can cause major damage in the lungs. Nitrogen oxide is commonly released through vehicle emissions, which is why urban areas have higher amounts of smog. |
Health Dangers of Smog
Smog can cause coughing and throat irritation. These effects are compounded in the elderly, children, and those that suffer from asthma. Exposure to high amounts of smog can cause breathing difficulty and lung damage.
