HAZE are particles 2.5 micrometres (PM 2.5) or smaller in size. These fine particles act as irritants to the eyes, nostrils, respiratory passage and skin. Patients may encounter runny nose, cough, sore throat or eye and skin irritation.
Children, the elderly, pregnant women, those who suffer from asthma, heart disease as well as heavy smokers are more vulnerable to medical problems when exposed to prolonged haze.
