One of the two major types of smog - consisting of smoke fog, sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫), sulfuric acid, ash, and soot (煤烟) -is called London smog. Indeed, the word smog is thought to have originated in England in 1905 as a short form of the words “smoke” and “fog.”

Probably the worst case of smog in history started in London on Thursday, 4 December, 1952. 【小题1】 A temperature inversion (逆温) placed a blanket of warm air over the cold air. With nightfall, a thick fog and below-freezing temperatures caused the people of London to put coal into their small stoves. Millions of these fires burned throughout the night, pouring sulfur dioxide and smoke into the air. The next day, Friday, the people continued to bum coal when the temperature remained below freezing.【小题2】

Saturday was a day of darkness. For twenty miles around London, no light came through the smog. The air was cold and still.【小题3】 On Monday, 8 December, more than one hundred people died of heart attacks while trying desperately to breathe.【小题4】

By the time a light wind cleared the air on Tuesday, 9 December, more than 4,000 deaths had been caused by the smog. This is more people than were ever killed in any single hurricane, mine disaster, shipwreck, or airplane crash.【小题5】 Air pollution events may not seem as serious and shocking as other disasters, but they can be just as deadly.
