Abstract: Fog pollution is one of the hazardous weather phenomena. The occurrence, damage, observation methods, and the present situation of fog were discussed and analyzed in this paper. On this basis, the formation mechanism of fog pollution and chemical behaviors of pollutants during the fog process were focused. In addition, the difficulties and future direction of current fog research were also proposed.

Key words: fog pollution, climate change, formation mechanism, atmospheric chemistry
