Haze - Haze in Southeast Asia
Haze is a regular problem in Southeast Asia caused by land and forest fires in Indonesia, especially Sumatra and Kalimantan. Those fires mainly affect Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. The economic losses of the fires in 1997 have been estimated at US$9.3 billion [1]. This includes damages in agriculture production, destruction of forest lands, health, transportation, tourism, and other economic endeavours. Not included are social, environmental, and psychological problems and long term health effects. The latest bout of haze to occur in Malaysia and the Malacca Straits was in August 2005.
As a reaction, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) signed Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution, formed a Regional Haze Action Plan (RHAP) and established a co-ordination and support unit (CSU). As part of this Action Plan and with the help of Canada, a monitoring and warning system for forest/vegetation fires was developed and implemented called Fire Danger Rating System (FDRS). Since September 2003 daily ratings have been issued by the Malaysian Meteorological Service (MMS).[2]
