Abstract
It is a widely recognized fact that the occurrence of most severe air pollution episodes is connected to deep fog layers. This happens not only as a mere consequence of that particular thermodynamic stratification of the lower troposphere wich establishes under fog conditions and reduces vertical dispersion, but also because fog takes usually place during the cold season, when a substantial contribution from low level domestic, uncontrolled sources is added to the industrial ones. The increased pollution background due to the former makes it necessary to exert stricter controls on the latter, through strategies of emission reduction, desulphuration, temperature increase of flue gas, burning of low sulphur content fuel, and so on.
