Does fog smell by default?
Explanation: Before I answer this question, I would like to clarify that fog does not smell by default, but just in some specific cases. Now lets have a closer look at the formation and the composition of Fog. Fog start forming close to ground when there is a combination of high humidity and relatively cold temperature (2.5-4°C).
Do fog machines smell bad?
But the downside of a fog machine is that the fluid often creates a sweet and acrid odor that may not be very appealing to most. While not intolerable to many, there are some that can’t stand it, but all notice it. The answer to this one is quite simple.

What is the composition of fog?
Now lets have a closer look at the formation and the composition of Fog. Fog start forming close to ground when there is a combination of high humidity and relatively cold temperature (2.5-4°C). In these conditions, water vapour starts condensing on fine dust particles and other aerosols in the air.
If you walk through fog you will note tiny droplets of water, all the same size, suspended therein yet if you exhale through a hose with the “exhaust” exiting behind you, they no longer are present until you turn. What does that mean?
Forming fog stops various dust and gasses from escaping from ground further away. Some of gasses and dust particles also got dissolved in the water droplets. If you are close to a city or a farm, various pollutants and aromatic substances get transported to you dissolved inside water droplets of fog.
Fog start forming close to ground when there is a combination of high humidity and relatively cold temperature (2.5-4°C). In these conditions, water vapour starts condensing on fine dust particles and other aerosols in the air. Condensed water droplets start growing until they reach some balance with surrounding air. So far good, hardly any smell.
