Man the fact that so many people have died or been sickened by this toxic smoke is upsetting. I hope the efforts to stop this problem bear fruit because dying from some pollution that shouldn't really be there is kinda crappy. Plus fires are no joke as well. Just look at California. They get bad ones every year.

I didn't realize that the after effects of a fire could possibly be so deadly. This haze killed 100,000 people!! When Cali is burning, is there a similar haze that affects the surrounding states? This is quite a scary situation. And to think that the problem was exasperated by the cutting down of trees for palm oil. I hope there's a solution to this massive problem.
