Solution

In the winter months, the increased use of coal and fossil fuels for heating homes and other purposes due to the severe cold contributes to the formation of smog. Smog is detrimental to health, causing conditions like asthma, bronchitis, breathing difficulties, and irritation in the eyes and nose. It also decreases visibility, leading to traffic congestion and movement problems.
