00:00Indonesia is turning to dry ice in its latest effort to combat the worsening haze from forest and land fires.
00:07A total of 1.5 tons of dry ice is being prepared for distribution by Cessna aircraft in the Palembang
00:15area.
00:15Authorities also deployed nearly 17,000 personnel to fight fires in South Sumatra and Central Kalimantan.
00:23Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Dundung Abdurrahma said the first trial would take place today and would focus
00:32on the haze in South Sumatra.
00:35The experiment comes as air pollution in Central Kalimantan reached extreme levels on Wednesday with readings exceeding 1,200, four
00:45times Indonesia's hazardous air threshold.
00:48Since January, nearly 900,000 hectares of land have burned across Indonesia.
00:54The country experiences forest fires regularly during its dry season, but this year the blazes have been especially severe due
01:02to droughts brought on by a strong El Nino.
01:05Timor-Leste will also be suspending in-person classes for three days due to worsening haze.
01:11That has pushed air pollution in Malaysia and Singapore to its highest level this year.
