Description
Graham and co-authors update how many people breathe smoke from Indonesian peatland fires, in a 2024 paper. The team set out thirteen low-cost fine-particle sensors across Central Kalimantan, indoors and out, as an El Niño dry season began in 2023.
Across September and October, outdoor particle levels averaged high, with fires supplying most of the load. Indoor air was nearly as dirty as outdoor air in rural homes, so housing gave little shelter. Blending sensor data with a regional air model and survey answers, the team estimates about 1.6 million people faced unhealthy or worse air that season.
