It's like nature's unwanted selfie! When sunlight (photo) reacts with pollutants in the atmosphere, you get smog that's filled with nasty chemicals. Not pretty, right?
💸 Economic Downsides of This Smoggy Selfie:💨
Clean - up costs

- Real-world example: Los Angeles spends millions annually to improve air quality because of smog problems.
Loss of tourism
- Think of it as: Who'd want to visit a city if they can't even see it through the smog? 😷
- Real-world example: Cities like New Delhi often see a decrease in tourists during peak smog times.
Health care costs
- Think of it as: Smog = Sick lungs = Doctor visits! 🌬️+👨⚕️
- Real-world example: In the UK, air pollution contributes to 40,000 premature deaths annually, leading to massive health care costs.
