In Indonesia, fires have increased to the air pollution and therefore led to the evacuation of infants and their mothers. Air pollution higher than 300 is considered dangerous, but their air pollution reached a level of 1000. The fires that cause pollution are a cause of the forests fires and the peat fires to get rid of old crops and also for the new land.  Air pollution has been a problem in Indonesia for 18 years, and their condition doesn’t seem to get better. The air pollution has been expanding to nearby countries like Singapore and Malaysia.

 

I think it is very concerning that the air pollution levels in Indonesia have reached a level of 1000. It’s a great initiative that the infants and their mothers were evacuated from the harmful air. However, the problem needs to be solved and not be ignored by just moving the people from one place to another. The problem of air pollution is important, not just for Indonesia but for other countries because just like the air pollution is spreading to Malaysia and also Singapore it will continue to spread all over the world.
