I don't mean sulfuric smog, like in Donora, Pennsylvania, in 1948 (4000 fatalities), or Glasgow, Scotland in 1911. I mean the photochemical smog created by vehicle exhaust, like the smog over Los Angeles. Apparently, L.A. smog was at a crisis stage in the 1950s, but I don't know if there were any fatalities. Please substantiate your answer with sources. Thanks.

This is an epidemiology question, and the answer is usually expressed as "excess" or "premature" deaths. For the USA, this number may be as high as 30,000 per year, attributed to automobile exhaust pollution.

I work in the medical field...we have many diseases that are though to be caused by air pollution like asthma and others that people ultimately die from. http://www.arb.ca.gov/homepage.htm
