smog and haze
Smog refers to a thick, polluted air that is formed when harmful gases and particles, primarily from vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, and chemical reactions, combine with fog or other weather conditions. Haze, on the other hand, is a atmospheric phenomenon characterized by the presence of fine particles, such as smoke, dust, or moisture, that reduce visibility and give the air a blurred or milky appearance.
