Residents in Southeast Asia are facing severe air quality issues caused by smog from wildfires in Indonesia. In Malaysia, cities like Kuching have experienced “unhealthy” to “hazardous” air pollutant index (API) readings.
This haze has disrupted daily life, forcing residents to halt outdoor activities such as exercise and keep windows shut with air purifiers running. The smog has been thick enough to obscure views and significantly impact routines for those living in affected areas.
