I think perhaps you should study the Industrial Revolution and the history of air pollution a bit more. In fact, this official British site discusses smog as early as the 13th century:

UK Air Pollution

Air pollution in the UK has been a recognised problem as far back as the 13th century, when the use of coal in London was prohibited on the ground that it was prejudicial to health. During the Industrial Revolution, smog pollution in urban areas became a significant problem, due to the industrial and domestic burning of coal. Today, both urban and rural smog pollution results from the build up of secondary photochemical pollutants such as ozone. Whilst air quality generally has improved during the last 100 years, legislative controls and the introduction of further low emission technology will help to reduce air pollution in the UK still further.
