    Haze is caused by tiny particulates suspended in the atmosphere that scatter and absorb sunlight, reducing visibility. Sources of haze particulates include natural sources like oceans and forests as well as human activities such as open burning, land clearing, vehicular emissions, and fossil fuel combustion. Prolonged exposure to haze can negatively impact human health, causing issues for asthma and heart disease sufferers. It can also disrupt transportation, tourism, and the economy by lowering visibility. The document provides advice to the public to reduce haze such as refraining from open burning, maintaining vehicles, using less polluted fuels, and reducing outdoor activities during hazy periods.

    these particulates scatter and a#sor# sunlight resulting in diminished horizontal
    &isi#ility there#y gi&ing the atmosphere a characteristic opalescent appearance$
    Haze is not confined to ur#an en&ironments' it may also #e o#ser&ed in rural areas$
    %he particles that cause the haze phenomenon can originate from many
    sources! some of hich are natural and some anthropogenic$ (atural sources
    include the oceans! forests and ground surface$ Hoe&er the ma)ority of the
    particulates are from human acti&ities hich include open #urning! land clearing!
    &ehicular use and com#ustion of fossil fuels in industrial #oilers$ *ome other sources
    for haze particles include farming +ploughing in dry eather,! traffic! industry! and
    ildfires$
    Haze originating from natural sources such as sea salt and soil dust is
    generally harmless to humans$ *light! transient haze &isi#le in most tons and cities
