		It was over fifty years ago that a deadly smog enveloped the small town, and gave birth to the modern movement to protect the environment.
		In late October 1948 the Monongahela River Valley town of Donora, Pennsylvania was subsumed in a noxious smog.
		The investigation into Donora Smog Disaster was essential to the first federal clean-air act, passed in 1955.

	smog. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The gray smog of older industrial cities like London and New York derives from the massive combustion of coal and fuel oil in or near the city, releasing tons of ashes, soot, and sulfur compounds into the air.
		In some instances, atmospheric pollutants accumulate and become concentrated when air movement is stopped by a temperature inversion: Usually the air is warmer at the earth’s surface and colder above; in a temperature inversion a layer of warm air forms above and holds down a layer of cool air at the ground.
		Smog usually results in reduced visibility, irritation of the eyes and respiratory system, and damage to paint, metal, rubber, and other materials.

	All That Smog - Background (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Apparently, this is a logically depiction given that the main source of industrial smog was from the burning of coal for heat and energy (Nebel and Wright 527).
		Photochemical smog, one of today's primary smog related concerns, arises mainly from the combustion process by motor vehicles, as well as the increased use of fossil fuels for heating, industry, and transportation (ibid.).
		Considering this with the fact that ground level ozone constitutes 90% of all smog found in urban areas, it could be seen where the heart of the concern regarding photochemical smog lies (ibid.).

	Smog \| Biography \| MTV (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An under-recognized pioneer of the lo-fi revolution, Smog was essentially the alias of one Bill Callahan, an enigmatic singer/songwriter whose odd, fractured music neatly epitomized the tenets and excesses of the home-recording boom.
		Led off by the remarkable "Bathysphere" (its title a fitting metaphor for Callahan's self-absorption) and climaxed by the epic "Prince Alone in the Studio" (a virtual theme song for a solitary creative existence), the LP reflected his bitter obsessions with stunning clarity, emerging as a triumph of abject failure.
		The peripatetic Callahan relocated to Chicago prior to the release of 1999's Knock Knock, resurfacing in the spring of 2000 with Dongs of Sevotion and the Strayed EP.

		Alpine's smog levels are usually higher than the rest of the region because it sits on a west-facing mountain slope that traps smog, Tinsley said.
		Ozone, also called smog in some reports, is formed when sunlight and warm weather interact with emissions from gasoline and diesel engines; solvents, such as dry cleaning fluids and paints; and fossil fuels burned in power plants and factories.
		Of the 10 smog monitors in San Diego County, the one in Alpine is to blame for most of the times federal smog standards are exceeded, Burnett said.
