The Great Smog of London | Marks Unexplained World Podcast (Ep. 178)
The Great Smog of London, which occurred in December 1952, was a severe air pollution event that lasted from December 5 to December 9.
It was caused by a combination of industrial pollution and high-pressure weather conditions, leading to a thick fog that blanketed the city.
The smog resulted in approximately 12,000 deaths and had lasting health repercussions, ultimately paving the way for significant reforms such as the Clean Air Act of 1956.
The event highlighted the dangers of air pollution and the need for regulatory measures to protect public health.
