00:00Haze from Indonesia is expected to affect parts of the Philippines until September 3 due to ongoing fires and prevailing
00:07winds.
00:08The Environment and Management Bureau says air quality may improve from September 4 to 6 if rainfall and wind patterns
00:14change.
00:15The haze outlook beyond September 6 will depend on continued fires and hotspots in Kalimantan as well as winds that
00:21could bring smoke toward the Philippines.
00:23The DENR also issues an advisory telling people to limit exposure outdoors.
00:28People are advised to wear an N95 mask to protect themselves from air pollution if going out in areas with
00:34noticeable haze.
00:36The Department of Health warns that the haze may cause coughing, breathing difficulties, eye irritation, and worsened respiratory conditions like
00:44asthma.
