Invisible Borders in
North America
The map shows how smog
spreads across eastern North
America. Smog is caused by
the burning of fossil fuels in
cars, trucks, power plants,
and factories. The chemicals
produced combine with sunlight
to create smog. Smog lowers
air quality. It also leads to breathing problems for some people.
In Canada, smog season lasts
from May to September. As the
map shows, much of the smog
in Canada comes from the
United States.
