Is pollution worse when it's warm?

Someone said once, pollution is worse when its hot out and that got me to thinking... Is that really true?

not at all

pollution is even all year around

we pollute an equal amount in both summer and winter

we pollute in winter from running hot water, using the car lots and using radiators etc

the same as in summer by running fans all day and using electricity to run cooling products for food etc

Yes. Geographical investigations prove that the existence of pollution can cause smog when in hot weather.

Yes. The pollution reacts with the oxygen in high heat and light to produce ozone. Ozone is very unhealthy to breath

That depends on whether you are talking about the quantity of pollutants increasing when the weather is hot (IDK but doubt it) or whether the effect of those pollutants is greater at higher temperatures (yes; look up Q10 for an explanation).

Smog is certainly much worse in the summer.

possibly, I mean then it could evaporate into the air. TOTALLY guess on this!
