It is a mixture of smoke and fog. Hence, the name Smog.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_smog_formed\"><\/span>How is smog formed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When we burn coal, various harmful particles rise up in the air. If they are produced excessively, being heavy particles, they will not rise up in the air thus causing them to mix with the fog which is heavy water droplets suspended near the earth\u2019s surface. This forms smog.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_effects_of_smog\"><\/span>What are the effects of smog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The inhalation of this air can lead to allergies, respiratory and other diseases. Sometimes it can prove fatal as well.<\/li>\n<li>If it dissolves in rain, it gives rise to acid rain.<\/li>\n<li>Smog leads to a drastic decrease in visibility. Such a condition is risky when you are travelling by road as it can lead to accidents and major mishaps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_nature_indicate_abnormalities_in_the_environment\"><\/span>How does nature indicate abnormalities in the environment?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nature always acts as an indicator of abnormalities in the environment. For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Changing climatic conditions<\/li>\n<li>Drastic change in weather<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are even several organisms in nature that point out towards the abnormalities in the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents Smog Formation Effects Nature as an indicator of abnormalities in the environment Summary What\u2019s Next?
