Cleveland.com on the haze alert…
Haze from forest fires in Sumatra drifted into Malaysia and Thailand in an annual rite of pollution caused by illegal burning. The fires are typically started by slash-and-burn farmers clearing forests for fields or logging companies clearing land to get at timber.
Indonesia’s Riau province has the majority of the fires and the worst pollution, with air travel suspended in the capital city of Pekanbaru and thousands of people forced to wear masks to breathe. The haze spread to Port Klang, Penang and Perak in Malaysia and to southern Thailand.
