What is haze

Haze is the result of the interaction between specific climatic conditions and human activities. The economic and social activities of high-density population will inevitably emit a large amount of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), and once the emissions exceed the capacity and carrying capacity of the atmospheric circulation, the concentration of fine particulate matter will continue to accumulate, and at this time, if affected by static weather, etc., widespread haze is very likely to occur.
