Thanks Andy, I'll have to try this out. I think my memory of how the haze works may be faulty. It's been a while since I was working with this aspect of it.
 
I checked and multiple boundary areas work as well.

I'll check it out. So includes both London and the Rhur? The coordinates don't seem to match for the Rhur as seen in my missions builder which are more E6.35 ish to E7.37 ish and N51.50 ish down to N50.60 ish ?
 
I included the industrial parts of Holland and then provided for some drift to the east from the Rhur.

Properly done each industrial city area would have it's own little patch of smog.

Ah! So I imagine then one could try 3 or 4 entries in theory? Now you've done the hard work, I might play around!
