- Nota Adicional2
- Many haze formations are caused by the presence of an abundance of condensation nuclei which may grow in size, due to a variety of causes, and become mist, fog, or cloud. Distinction is sometimes drawn between dry haze and damp haze, largely on the basis of diferences in optical effects produced by the smaller particles (dry haze) and larger particles (damp haze).
