The Great Smog of 1952 in London (see Fig. 1) was arguably the greatest air pollution event in the history of atmospheric science. This brought London to a virtual standstill and caused severe adverse health effects, prompting research into atmospheric science and the introduction of air quality legislation. Over 60 years later, on 6 April 2016, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) welcomed over 200 atmospheric scientists from around the world to attend the 275th Faraday Discussion meeting titled ‘Chemistry in the Urban Atmosphere’. Scientists gathered to discuss current ‘hot topics’ in atmospheric science and air pollution, including the emissions of the oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter, which still pose a significant health threat in urban environments.
