Causes
It is caused when light is absorbed by pollution particles such as sulfates, nitrates, organic carbon compounds, and soil dust. Nitrogen dioxide and other pollution gases also contribute to haze. Haze increases with summer humidity because sulfate and other particles absorb moisture and increase in size. The larger the particles, the more light they scatter.
