La dénomination de «smog photochimique oxydant» est mauvaise pour caractériser le phénomène puisque la définition précise qu'il est sans rapport avec la fumée [...] C'est la raison pour laquelle il est préférable de parler de «brouillard photochimique oxydant». 3, record 1, French, - smog%20photochimique
