- Summary:
- Fires in Indonesia contribute to severe air pollution, or haze, that causes public health, environmental, and economic degradation across Indonesia and across equatorial Asia. As populations around the world are facing increasing threats from fires, now is a critical time to better understand the connection between fire pollution and public health outcomes. In this report, the authors present preliminary analysis that explores the drivers of fire activity in Indonesia and quantifies health impacts of air pollution exposure using a local survey collected in districts located around the country. The report concludes with recommendations for future research directions that will improve understanding of the health consequences of haze exposure.
