Human health badly hit by haze: Scientists

BANGKOK. Toxic fumes from the Indonesian fires that have spread a choking haze across
South-east Asia may be doing more harm to human and plant health than officials have indicated,
scientists measuring the pollution say.

Farmers are expecting a poor harvest because plants have too little sunlight for normal
photosynthesis, while government figures of half a million people sickened by the smoke are
only the "tip of the iceberg", said Dr Louis Verchot, a scientist with the Centre for International
Forestry Research.

Meanwhile, the fires are converting carbon stored in burning peat lands into greenhouse gases,
contributing to climate change.

"When the sun goes up, the whole world is yellow. On the worst day, the visibility was less than
100m," said Dr Verchot, who led a workshop on the crisis in Central Kalimantan province last
month with about 20 scientists from Indonesia, the United States and Britain.

Dr Verchot said they had found harmful gases in the air including ozone, carbon monoxide,
cyanide, ammonia, formaldehyde, nitric oxide and methane.

"Without a mask, I don't know how people live in this stuff," he said via telephone from Jakarta.

Professor Martin Wooster of King's College London, who joined Dr Verchot on the trip, tested
his equipment in his hotel room, several kilometres from the fires, and found 30 molecules of
carbon monoxide per million molecules of air - enough to trigger a household carbon monoxide
detector.

Near the burning peat lands, Prof Wooster's preliminary data indicates more than 1,000
microgram of particulate matter per cu m of air, and at times 2,000.

The US Environmental Protection Agency considers any amount over 300 microgram per cum
hazardous.

Meanwhile, an endangered Borneo orangutan and its baby escaped from raging fires that
destroyed their forests habitat - only to be attacked by angry villagers, an animal rights group
said yesterday.

The malnourished mother and its youngster were found distressed in West Kalimantan when they
were saved by an animal rights group as locals hurled rocks at them.
