Regional Haze

Regional Haze refers to widespread, persistent atmospheric haze that reduces visibility over large areas, often miles or kilometers. It results from fine particles and pollutants—such as soot, dust, and chemical compounds—emanating from sources like vehicles, factories, and wildfires. These particles scatter and absorb sunlight, causing distance objects to appear blurry or faint. Regional Haze can affect natural ecosystems, tourism, and quality of life. Efforts to reduce it involve controlling emissions, improving air quality standards, and adopting cleaner technologies, aiming to restore clearer, healthier skies across affected regions.
