Watch: Orange haze blankets Indonesia's Kalimantan region, API of 1200

The ISPU air pollution index exceeded 1,200, according to data from the national environment ministry, four times higher than the "hazardous" level of 300 on Wednesday.

Toxic smog is choking millions across Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, with authorities partly blaming the agricultural clearing method known as "slash and burn" for compounding the intense haze.

Dystopian :(

Horrendous. Not the first time it's been in the news and won't be the last. Too much money coming from palm oil and burning practices. The average Indonesian gets stuck with the ecological bill whilst companies rake in the profits. Needs serious international cooperation to solve this as Indonesia is externalising their incompetence.
