Abstract-Here we are about to discuss the formation of smog, it’s chemical constituents, the effects of smog not only on human beings but also on vegetation and surrounding environment. Major Air Pollutants responsible for smog are carbon oxides (CO, CO2) , nitrogen oxides and nitric acid (NO, NO2, HNO3) , sulphur dioxide and sulphuric acid (SO2, H2SO4), suspended particulate matter (SPM) ,ozone (O3) ,volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Efforts to control smog around the world have had significant influence in improving air quality in metropolitan areas, but each city faces its own specific challenges, and strategies that work in one region are not always applicable to others.
