I feel stupid asking this. But cities and countries who have smog and a major amount of air pollution. Why doesn't the wind blow it away or move it overtime? Is there that much pollution?

Wind blows smog away and disperses it to where it isn’t noticeable, but sometimes the air gets polluted faster than the local winds can carry it away.
