Answer 2

Answer:

The pollution that occurs there is heavier than the surrounding air, which leads to the buildup of smog

Explanation:

The large urban areas, such as Los Angels, are having big problems with controlling the pollution. These areas are large economic centers, with millions of people living in them. All the different economic sectors concentrated in such small space, plus the traffic, are causing lot of pollution of the air, filling it with particles of metal and toxic gases, which are heavier than the air itself. Because they are heavier, they tend to stay low and are much more static, causing buildup of them, resulting in smog.
