Smog

A mixture of pollutants, principally ground-level ozone, produced by chemical reactions in the air. A major portion of smog-formers comes from burning petroleum-based fuels such as gasoline, but also include volatile organic compounds that are found in products such as paints and solvents. Smog can harm health, damage the environment and cause poor visibility.
