Thermal inversion is an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when a layer of warm air rests over a layer of cool air near the ground. The warm air holds the cold air near the ground, which traps in pollutants from human activities. Most commonly, thermal inversion will trap industrial or photochemical smog. This is bad for cities, and can cause severe illness and in extreme cases death. This is because of the harmful pollutants and chemicals that compose industrial and photochemical cause. Both created primarily by different types of combustion, they pose an equally scary threat to most organisms in their vicinity.
