Thick fog causes school closures in Southeast Asia
A wave of thick smoky fog covered large parts of Southeast Asia as a result of ongoing wildfires in Indonesia that have been burning for weeks. This led to the closure of schools in Malaysia due to dangerously high pollution levels, and pollution levels also rose in Singapore, which is hosting the Formula 1 race this week. The pollution caused a sharp decline in air quality, with an increase in the number of patients suffering from severe respiratory problems and worsened asthma cases. This situation was exacerbated by the El Niño climate phenomenon, which has caused a severe drought in the region.
