    The word smog is a combination of smoke and fog. It is a type of air pollution that occurs in many cities throughout the world. Classical smog occurs in a cool, humid climate. It is also called reducing smog. Whereas photochemical smog (photo means light) occurs in warm and dry sunny climates. It has a high concentration of oxidising agents and therefore, it is also called oxidising smog.
