Smog

Smog is a type of air pollution that is a mixture of smoke and fog. In aviation, smog can cause reduced visibility, which can lead to flight delays or cancellations. Smog is often caused by the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, and can be made worse by weather conditions such as temperature inversions, which trap pollutants close to the ground. In addition to reducing visibility, smog can also have negative health effects on pilots, crew, and passengers who are exposed to it for extended periods of time.
