　　The Smog (煙霧)

　　For over a month,Indonesia was in crisis.Forest fires raged out of control as

　　the country suffered its worst drought for 50 years.Smoke from the fires mixed

　　with sunlight and hot dry air to form a cloud of smog.This pollution quickly

　　spread and within days it was hanging over neighbouring countries including

　　Malaysia,Singapore and Thailand.

　　When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars,it soon became

　　poisonous(有毒的.).Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and

　　pollution levels rose.People wheezed(喘息)and coughed as they left the house

　　and their eyes watered immediately.

　　The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared

　　as grey soot(煙灰)covered everything.In some areas,water was hosed (用膠管澆

　　)from high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.

　　Finally,heavy rains,which came in November,put out the fires and cleared the

　　air.But the environmental costs and health problems will remain.Many people from

　　South-Eastern Asian cities already suffer from breathing huge amounts of car

　　exhaust fumes(汽車排放的廢氣)and factory pollution.Breathing problems could

　　well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first

　　time.Wildlife has suffered too.In lowland forests,elephants,deer,and tigers have

　　been driven out of their homes by smog.

　　But smog is not just an Asian problem.In fact,the word was first used in London

　　in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog.Fog often hung over the

　　capital.Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by

　　breathing problems or in accidents.About 4，000 Londoners died within five days

　　as a result of thick smog in 1952.
