Cobham, Woking, Weybridge, Guildford and Borough of Guildford hazes of the 1980s

The event
The Cobham, Woking, Guildford and Borough of Guildford hazes of the 1980s was a unpleasant, but minor air pollution incident in the county of Surrey. It was photogenic haze (a mild form of smog) that occurred on a few days during the 1980s due to some perticly hot and still summer weather, which allowed London's drifting car fumes, local high pollen levels and ground ozone to mix in to a mildly toxic ground level 'haze' cloud. There were only a few asthma deaths, mostly in the late 1980s.
