Smog

Real World Example

Imagine trying to enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the morning, but the flavors are muddled because you've accidentally mixed in too many different ingredients. Similarly, when various chemicals from car emissions, industrial activities, and other sources mix in the atmosphere, they create a thick, gray-brown smog that muddles the clarity of the air. Just as the extra ingredients in your coffee overwhelm the intended taste, these mixed chemicals overwhelm the natural composition of the air, leading to the gray-brown haze we recognize as smog.
