Athens crisis years smog

The Athes metropolitan area and some major Greek cities appear to have smog after 200 years again. The use of the cheaper wood instead of the heavy taxed heating oil is the major reason. Article needs extension. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vagr7 (talkcontribs) 12:11, 9 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

More intense sunsets

The article fails to mention the sole silver lining of smog: it enhances the intensity of colors during sunsets. Smoggier days in California lead to a greater variety and richness of colors as the sun goes down. We know that things that taste especially good are often unhealthy; so it appears that things that look good can be, too. 201.105.84.113 (talk) 22:02, 9 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Health effects

There appears to be an inconsistency with the Wikipedia article on Peroxyacyl Nitrates.

That article states that the health effects of Peroxyacyl Nitrate are more serious than Ozone. However, the Health effects section here does not mention the health effects of Peroxyacyl Nitrates even though they are correctly listed as one of the constituents of photochemical smog.

Plants as "causes" of smog

The idea that plants cause smog is misleading. This is a problem made famous by Ronald Reagan in 1980. Yes the hydrocarbons emitted by plants can contribute to eventual smog formation, but without NOx from another source (fire, severe lightning, combustion engines) smog doesn't form.

I would propose moving plants from the header "causes" to a different section (formation/reactions?) Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 02:45, 18 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
