thanx to our friendly neighbours.. the haze is back.. and for one reason or another.. im feeling the effects far more den the previous years.. i cant breathe properly.. eyes itch.. and as a result tearing.. although the PSI states its the healthy range.. it feels SUPER unhealthy and your lungs start to have that burning sensation..
i really dun understand these lame people(sorry if i'm offending any indonesians whos reading dis.. which i doubt so) they burn burn burn.. and we suffer, its like an annual affair.. are the indonesian authorities that busy? busy counting money they just pocketed?
"Haze is an atmospheric phenomenon where dust, smoke and other pollutant particles obscure the normal clarity of the sky. It occurs when dust and smoke particles accumulate in relatively dry air. When weather conditions block the dispersal of smoke and other pollutants they concentrate and form a usually low-hanging shroud that impairs visibilty and may become a respiratory health threat. Dense haze caused by industrial pollution is also known as smog."
the haze over SEA is caused by inconsiderate farmers who burn scrub and forest to clear land during the dry season for agricultural purposes. dis is a very selfish act.. lets look at the consequences..
1) the haze caused innocent ppl like us to suffer..
2) the haze has been blamed for an estimated USD 9.3billion of economic loss. dis includes damages in agriculture production, destruction of forest lands, health, transportation, tourism.
there have been efforts made by the ASEAN countries to curb the farmers from practising those slash-and-burn actions.. but till today.. indonesian authorities have yet to reply.. or ratify the agreement.. maybe those people are waiting for some under the table money? really hope things will get better soon.. give me the only thing thats free in the world.. thats fresh clean air...
