Full description Wildfire smoke causes thousands of deaths in Southeast Asia every year, many of them in young children in Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. Climate change will make wildfires in the region more frequent and intense, causing more severe and prolonged smoke haze. We will develop and evaluate public health tools aimed at protecting children from smoke haze, including an early warning system, clean air rooms in schools and nurseries, and targeted health advice for children and their carers.
