The 2016 Southeast Asian Haze was a transnational haze crisis which is a recurring problem with transboundary air pollution brought on by fires. The 2016 haze that took place affected several countries in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.[1][2] It brought negative effects towards the environment and brought an impact on people's health and the economy.
In some Southeast Asian nations, air quality deteriorates to dangerous levels as a result of excessive quantities of airborne particulate matter from burning biomass.[1][2]
