The Great Smog of London 1952: Lessons in Air Pollution and Environmental Impact

Описание: In December 1952, London was engulfed in a deadly smog that would forever change environmental policy and public awareness. This was no ordinary fog—it was a toxic blend of smoke and pollutants, creating the infamous "Great Smog of London." Over five days, the dense, yellowish haze blanketed the city, halting transportation, overwhelming hospitals, and tragically causing an estimated 12,000 deaths. In this episode, we delve into the causes of this environmental disaster, its immediate and long-term health impacts, and the regulatory changes that followed, including the Clean Air Act of 1956. As air pollution remains a pressing global issue in cities like New Delhi, Beijing, and Los Angeles, the Great Smog's legacy is a reminder of the urgent need for cleaner energy and stricter emission controls. Join us as we explore how past events shape today’s environmental efforts and why it’s critical to prioritize cleaner air.
