Haze is a phenomenon that occurs when tiny particles in the air scatter or absorb sunlight, reducing visibility

 Haze is a phenomenon that occurs when tiny particles in the air scatter or absorb sunlight, reducing visibility and the clarity of what we see: 

Causes: Haze can be caused by many things, including:

Particulate matter: Particles from smoke, dust, road dust, and other sources can impair visibility. 

Gaseous pollutants: When gaseous pollutants react in the atmosphere, they can create particulate matter that contributes to haze. 

Sunlight: When sunlight interacts with tiny pollution particles, some light is absorbed and some is scattered, reducing visibility. 

Effects: Haze can have adverse health effects, including:

Lungs: Particulate matter that is less than 10 micrometers in size can penetrate deep into the lungs. 

Biodiversity: Haze can lead to loss of biodiversity and decreased reproduction. 

Nervous system: Haze can cause neurological problems in vertebrates. 

Cardiovascular system: Haze can have cardiovascular effects in adults. 

Learning disabilities: Haze may contribute to learning disabilities in young children.
