A toxic haze linked to one of Indonesia’s worst wildfire seasons is affecting countries across South East Asia, with Singapore’s landmarks disappearing from view, according to a BBC report by Tessa Wong.
The report examines how smoke and haze from the fires are affecting the region. In Singapore, the pollution has reduced visibility to the point that familiar landmarks have become difficult to see.
The impact extends beyond Indonesia, with countries around South East Asia affected by the wildfire season. The regional spread of the haze highlights how fires in one country can create consequences across national borders.
The BBC’s report focuses on the changing view of Singapore’s skyline and the wider effects of the haze. It provides a breakdown of how the wildfire season is influencing conditions across the region.
At this time, the available information establishes that Indonesia is experiencing one of its worst wildfire seasons and that the resulting toxic haze is affecting Singapore and other South East Asian countries. Further details are contained in the BBC video report.
