In 1952, there was one of the worst "atmospheric killings" in British history in London, England.
As we all know, London, England, has accumulated a large number of factories since the industrial revolution period, resulting in its air pollution has been very serious, known as the "fog capital".
At that time, the British were in a hurry to make quick gains, only paying attention to the Tengda brought by heavy industry to the London economy, but did not bother at all about the protection and governance of the environment, which led to the anger of the "Fog Capital" on December 5, 1952, and took the lives of more than 10,000 people at once.
The accident occurred on December 5, and London suddenly entered an unprecedented thick haze, and it is not too much to say that it is impossible to see five fingers.
Soon after the heavy smog broke out, people began to feel dry eyes, coughing in their throats, and some people even felt breathless, and their chests were tight as if they were about to suffocate.
From December 6, people began to suffocate to death in the smog.
It is said that there was a "cattle exhibition" in London at that time, and as a result, 52 cows died of poisoning that day, and more than a dozen were also seriously poisoned.
The smog remained on December 8, and due to the long-term neglect of environmental protection, the London government could not do anything about the smog, and more than 3,000 people died in London on the 8th alone.
Fortunately, after December 9, the sky was clear, and London began to blow strong winds, which soon caused the fog to clear and avoid greater casualties.
However, the smog left people with serious sequelae, resulting in more than 8,000 poisoning and death by the following spring, causing more than 12,000 deaths in total, which is the worst "accidental death accident" in the history of the United Kingdom.
After this incident, the reputation of London's "fog capital" completely resounded throughout the world, but more people felt afraid of it than they were originally fascinated.
London also began to enter a period of economic downturn for a considerable period. #London##UK##雾霾 #
