London Smog
The chapter discusses the perfect environment for Smog. First, there needs to be enough traffic to produce emissions. There must also be enough warmth and sunlight for the reactions to proceed. Lastly, there cannot be much air movement. For these reasons London is a city with perfect smog conditions. This article talks about some of the worst smog conditions experienced in London over last year's Easter weekend.

This article was very interesting- I didn't realize there are so many different conditions necessary in order to create the 'perfect environment for smog.' No wonder London has such an awful problem. A recent article I discovered in the New York Times mentions how India possesses the world's unhealthiest air- inclusive of smog, and other air quality pollutants alike. India must have ideal conditions for creating the perfect environment for smog, just as London seems to have.
