Kalimantan, #Indonesia's sky have turned #Orange due to the ongoing #HazeChaos in South East Asia and Forest Fire in the country.

The eerie orange haze reported in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, on October 14–16, 2026, is linked to severe smoke from forest fires. Air quality has reached dangerous levels, with PM2.5 concentrations reportedly peaking at 2,512 µg/m³ on October 14, posing a serious risk to public health.

PM2.5 particles are small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs. Wildfire smoke can also reduce visibility and affect neighboring countries.

Protect yourself:

• Stay indoors if the air is smoky or smells of burning.

• Keep windows and doors closed; use an air purifier if available.

• Wear a well-fitting N95 mask if you must go outside.

• Seek urgent medical care for severe breathing difficulties or chest pain.
