smog is fog with smoke in it.
Only the dumbest graduates of the university of dumbass believe that.
so far as I can tell (and I didn't do an exhaustive look by a long shot),
It would seem as if you looked no farther than your asshole from which you pulled that turd. Have you ever considered engaging your brain before opening your mouth?
your articles have to do with pollutants, not smog. the pollutants in question contribute to the smog in los angeles, but the question is, is the smog itself from china travelling thousands of miles across the ocean.
This is what smog is
When we talk about smog today, we’re referring to a mixture of various air pollutants—nitrogen oxides and other chemical compounds—that combine with sunlight to form ground-level ozone that hangs like a heavy haze over many cities in industrialized countries.
http://environment.about.com/od/smogfaq/f/smog_faq_six.htm
In typical urban areas, at least half of the smog precursors come from cars, buses, trucks, and boats.
Major smog occurrences often are linked to heavy motor vehicle traffic, high temperatures, sunshine, and calm winds. Weather and geography affect the location and severity of smog. Because temperature regulates the length of time it takes for smog to form, smog can occur more quickly and be more severe on a hot, sunny day.
Smog is produced by a set of complex photochemical reactions involving volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides and sunlight, which form ground-level ozone.
Smog-forming pollutants come from many sources such as automobile exhaust, power plants, factories and many consumer products, including paint, hairspray, charcoal starter fluid, chemical solvents, and even plastic popcorn packaging
When temperature inversions occur (that is, when warm air stays near the ground instead of rising) and the wind is calm, smog may remain trapped over a city for days. As traffic and other sources add more pollutants to the air, the smog gets worse. Ironically, smog is often more severe farther away from the sources of pollution, because the chemical reactions that cause smog take place in the atmosphere while pollutants are drifting on the wind.
