Clean Air Act 1956
The Clean Air Act 1956 (4 & 5 Eliz. 2. c. 52) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom enacted principally in response to London's Great Smog of 1952.

Coal
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams. Smokeless fuel and coal are fuels.
Coal bin
A coal bin, coal store or coal bunker is a storage container for coal awaiting use or transportation.
See Smokeless fuel and Coal bin
Coal tar
Coal tar is a thick dark liquid which is a by-product of the production of coke and coal gas from coal.
See Smokeless fuel and Coal tar
Coke (fuel)
Coke is a grey, hard, and porous coal-based fuel with a high carbon content. Smokeless fuel and Coke (fuel) are fuels.
See Smokeless fuel and Coke (fuel)
Combustion
Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.
See Smokeless fuel and Combustion
Energy density
In physics, energy density is the amount of energy stored in a given system or region of space per unit volume.

Flame
A flame is the visible, gaseous part of a fire.
Great Smog of London
The Great Smog of London, or Great Smog of 1952, was a severe air pollution event that affected London, England, in December 1952.

Heat of combustion
The heating value (or energy value or calorific value) of a substance, usually a fuel or food (see food energy), is the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified amount of it. Smokeless fuel and heat of combustion are fuels.
See Smokeless fuel and Heat of combustion

Infrared
Infrared (IR; sometimes called infrared light) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than that of visible light but shorter than microwaves.
See Smokeless fuel and Infrared
Inversion (meteorology)
In meteorology, an inversion (or temperature inversion) is a phenomenon in which a layer of warmer air overlies cooler air.
See Smokeless fuel and Inversion (meteorology)
