Oppressive atmosphere (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miasma

'oppressive atmosphere' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for miasma that I've seen before include "Stench" , "Stink" , "Foul vapour" , "Oppressive atmosphere" , "Unwholesome atmosphere, unhealthy vapors" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The Times.
