In December 1952, a thick, poisonous smog descended on London, England. The deadly haze turned the city dark, blinded people on the streets, and brought daily life to a halt. As thousands fell ill and many died, the disaster revealed the terrifying consequences of uncontrolled air pollution. This nonfiction account examines how the smog developed and the devastating impact it had on the people of London.
