Haze, as its name implies, is fog and haze. Haze weather is a state of air pollution, and smog is a general term for all kinds of suspended particles in the atmosphere, especially PM2.5 (particles with aerodynamic equivalent diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns) is considered as the "culprit" causing haze weather. With the deterioration of air quality, cloudy days are increasing and the harm is increasing. In many areas of our country, the smog weather phenomenon is combined with fog as an early warning and forecast of disastrous weather. Collectively referred to as "haze weather".
