  • Real-world example: Los Angeles spends millions annually to improve air quality because of smog problems.

  • Think of it as: Who'd want to visit a city if they can't even see it through the smog? 😷
  • Real-world example: Cities like New Delhi often see a decrease in tourists during peak smog times.

Health care costs

  • Think of it as: Smog = Sick lungs = Doctor visits! 🌬️+πŸ‘¨‍βš•οΈ
  • Real-world example: In the UK, air pollution contributes to 40,000 premature deaths annually, leading to massive health care costs.
