Before WWII SMOG (Smoke + Fog) Pollution Characteristics: - winter episodes, (cold and humid), sulfur Oxides (SOx), acids (H2SO4), particulates matter (PM) - 4 SourcesCharacteristics: - bad fuels and combustion, - emissions produced by the industries and the heating.
After WWII PhotochemicalSMOG PollutionCharacteristics : - Summer episodes, (warm and sunny), - photo-oxidants (O3, PAN), acids (HNO3), fine particulates matter. SourcesCharacteristics : - better fuels and combustion, - emissions produced by the traffic (mainly) and the industries.

Reduction Strategies • Objectives: Long term strategy (target values) Alert strategy (threshold values). • Means: Incite to renew the technologies: - the fuels, - the material (vehicles, industrial equipments) Improve the transport management : - truck vs. rail, - public transport, - car pool, - road traffic fluidity, - reduce the vehicles circulation.
