Los Angeles Smog

Los Angeles smog refers to the air pollution that frequently blankets the city, primarily caused by vehicle emissions, industrial activities, and sunny weather. The sunlight reacts with pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, leading to the formation of ground-level ozone, a key component of smog. This can result in hazy skies and health issues, especially respiratory problems. Efforts to reduce smog include stricter vehicle emissions standards and promoting public transportation, yet it remains a significant environmental challenge for the region due to its geography and climate.
