Why?
· As temperatures fall, people increase the use of heaters. The growth in electricity needs requires more energy production, which is primarily coal-driven. Coal is a major particulate pollution source. Factories also play a major role in industrial pollution.
· Farmers burn their crops in the fall, causing seasonal air quality problems.
· Mother Nature. Thermal inversion, windless days, and other meteorological events cause conditions for smog to hold in place as oppose to blowing away.
