Why the Air Gets Trapped? | ||
This circulation of air takes pollutants higher in the atmosphere where they disperse. Sometimes pollution is trapped near the Earth because of a thermal inversion which occurs when a layer of warm air traps cooler air and smog close to the ground and keeps it from escaping into the atmosphere. This layer of cool air is "out of order" since warm air is usually closer to the Earth.
