Pfffft, that's smog with a pasusyal name.

Fires from illegal slash and burn farming in Sumatra in Indonesia have created smog that has reached hazardous levels in Singapore and Malaysia.

Last Friday, the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reached 401 in Singapore, the highest it has ever been. PSI measures pollutant levels for major pollutants; 300 is considered a hazardous reading and the Singapore government says that a level over 400 for over 24 hours “may be life-threatening to ill and elderly persons.” People say the smog is so thick that they cannot see moving objects outside, including birds (which have reportedly been falling out of the sky).

Singapore and Malaysia are also fearing billions of dollars in losses to their economies. Back in 1997 and 1998, the South East Asia haze covered Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and the southern Philippines and led to an estimated $9.3 billion in economic losses, as well as major environmental damage.

The culprit is the illegal burning of trees to clear land for palm oil plantations. In slash and burn farming (which is cheaper than using bulldozers and other machinery), vegetation is cut down and burned; the method is even more commonly used in the dry season. “Fires across Sumatra are wreaking havoc for millions of people in the region and destroying the climate,” says Bustar Maitar, head of Greenpeace Indonesia’s forest campaign, in the BBC

Haze will be the least to worry sa cebu.. considering growing traffic hence smog is inevitable.

haze will be a minor concern .. but still, just be mindful sa complications nga mo add up ni sa pollutants sa hangin.

be extra careful sa health labi na naa moy anak or edaran sa pamilya. Wear face mask if needed.
