Smog in Montreal
A smog warning is still in effect for the Greater Montreal area Monday as high concentrations of pollutants are expected to infiltrate the air. According to Environment Canada, this could "result in poor air quality, especially in urban areas where pollutant emissions are higher." ()

"Winter smog is not unusual in cold-climate polluted urban settings. Smog is the combination of photochemistry and boundary layer meteorology. Pollutants, including human-made particles, which are entrapped by meteorology, will be concentrated and through the interactions with light, decrease visibility."
