Smog

The smog phenomenon has been worse over the past several years because of the environment becoming more and more polluted because of the formation of numerous factories, excessive traffic, remarkable construction work, and unrestricted tree cutting owing to urbanisation. 5 On the other side, the farmers' burn of crop waste is the primary cause of smog in New Delhi. There are no trace amounts of pollution since even minute quantities of ozone are harmful. 7 Although the ozone layer higher in the stratosphere shields against ultraviolet radiation, it is a pollutant at ground level and its persistently high floor levels may permanently harm lung tissue. 8 Smog does not cause allergies, but it does aggravate the lungs, aggravate asthma, and make breathing difficult.
