https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Smog_of_London
"The Great Smog of 1952, sometimes called The Big Smoke ,[1] was a severe air-pollution event that affected the British capital of London in December 1952. A period of cold weather, combined with an anticyclone and windless conditions, collected airborne pollutants – mostly arising from the use of coal – to form a thick layer of smog over the city. It lasted from Friday, 5 December to Tuesday, 9 December 1952 and then dispersed quickly when the weather changed."
Such as what? Which other pollutants in specific?

You're telling me during the most carefree pollution period in history a smog only lasted a few days before weather changed and hasn't happened in the US since? Sounds like a serious issue.

Coal burning actually causes more cancer than nuclear power plants literally any other form of power generation. Nuclear power plants contain the radiation, while coal plants vent carcinogens into the atmosphere.
