Solution

Smog is a type of air pollution that results from the mixture of smoke and fog. It is formed when pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter react with sunlight. There are two types: industrial smog (gray smog) and photochemical smog (brown smog). Both types can cause respiratory problems and other health issues.
