SMOG

Living up in Tahoe I don't really have to deal with this but when I go down tho the city , yikes. Where did this word come from? It originated in 1905 describing the thick smoke and fog that hung over London. Speaking of London, there was a show on SMOG and it featured English artists. They are taking over the world.
London's smog problem was so bad that in 1952, twelve thousand people perished due to the sulphur and other particilulates reaching their highest levels ever. And this all happened in a weeks time. Alright, breathe.....
Here are the artists and some of their work.
