Answer: Can trap polluted air causing health problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature inversion usually occurs when warm air, which is lighter than cold air, moves above cold air and traps it by acting as a sort of lid over it.

As a result of this, vertical mixing of air is suppressed such that pollution cannot diffuse upward but would remain closer to the surface where it is then likely to cause health problems when people are exposed to it for a longer time.
