17.People could only see for about 50metres in parts of Borneo yesterday and Singapore recorded its highest pollution for nearly 10years as forest fires in Indonesia sent smoke across the sea to the rest of South-east Asia.Face masks have been given to hundreds of thousands of people in Malaysia,and in many places children stayed in their houses behind closed doors rather than walk through the smoke to go to school.Traffic stopped because people could not see out of their car window,boats stayed in the harbour and some airports refused to let aircraft land.
In Singapore,the air quality is measured every day.A measurement over 100is considered unhealthy and at that level people who go outside will have problems breathing.Yesterday,the reading was 128and hundreds of people went to hospitals to try to get medical help.500fires were counted on satellite images yesterday.If there are many more fires,they could cause serious health problems for people living in the area.
Many of the fires are caused by people setting fire to their fields when they have harvested their crops.Some are caused by people lighting fires to cook on.But most of the fires are caused by winds which blew the flames from one forest to another.The smoke from the fires is then blown across the sea to other countries and,if there is no wind or heavy rain to get rid of the smoke there,it stays in the air.If it is so bad that the sun cannot shine through,people cannot see very far and many people become ill.
The smoke clouds yesterday reminded many people of the haze that covered large areas of south-east Asia in 1997causing many people to become ill and costing countries billions of dollars.I was living in Singapore at the time and I remember it well.I remember that I could not see the next apartment block for the haze,that I walked to the office and could hardly breathe and that I coughed and coughed for weeks afterwards.So did many of my friends and family and hundreds of thousands of people in Malaysia.Let us hope that the rains come and the winds blow the smoke away.Let us also hope that people do not light any more fires.
