YE CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPOSURE TO HAZE
Long term exposure Cataracts
• Cataract are cloud areas in the lens inside the eye, which is
normally clear.
• Cataract can precipitated by the excessive heat produced by
combustion activities which could result in coagulation of the
protein materials in the crystalline lens.
• Lifetime lead exposure may increase the risk of developing cataract
even in unborn babies, resulting congenital cataract.
