The Impact

Air pollution has emerged as one of the world’s largest environmental health threats, with various studies demonstrating associations between exposure to air pollution and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Regional air quality in Southeast Asia has been seasonally affected by the transboundary haze problem, which has often been the result of forest fires from “slash-and-burn” farming methods. In light of growing public health concerns, recent studies have begun to examine the health effects of this seasonal haze problem in Southeast Asia. This review paper aims to synthesize current research efforts on the impact of the Southeast Asian transboundary haze on acute aspects of public health. Existing studies conducted in countries affected by transboundary haze indicate consistent links between haze exposure and acute psychological, respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological morbidity and mortality. Future prospective and longitudinal studies are warranted to quantify the long-term health effects of recurrent, but intermittent, exposure to high levels of seasonal haze. The mechanism, toxicology and pathophysiology by which these toxic particles contribute to disease and mortality should be further investigated. Epidemiological studies on the disease burden and socioeconomic cost of haze exposure would also be useful to guide policy-making and international strategy in minimizing the impact of seasonal haze in Southeast Asia.

The Right

This study aimed to determine the extent of the implementation of the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution in the Southeast Asia Region. This study was normative empirical legal research (applied law research). Empirical normative legal research began with written positive legal provisions that were applied to in-concreto legal events in society. The principle of the working mechanism of the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution was the right to exploit one’s own resources with environmental and development policies, but this cannot be separated from the responsibility to ensure that exploitative activities did not cause environmental damage and threaten human health from other countries or an area outside the jurisdiction of a country but seeing the incidence every year there were still forest fires that cause a large haze and cause inconvenience to other ASEAN member countries and this must be immediately sought out so that an agreement that had been mutually agreed upon the same can be a parameter to reduce the occurrence of haze in the Southeast Asia region.

World Information

The chapter describes the conditions of predisposition of territories to the emergence of forest fires on different continents of the world. Information on the types of forest fires and the characteristics of burning materials is given. Human and economic losses from the forest fires and other emergencies (earthquake, flood) are compared. The causes of forest fires and their dynamics in Europe, USA, Canada, Southeast Asia, and Russia are given in this chapter. An analysis of the factors of their occurrence is given. Forest fires in the Russian Federation, where they annually cover large areas, have been studied in detail. The dynamics of the burning of Russian forests in the regions and administrative districts of the Tomsk region is considered. The causes of fire emergence is revealed. The forecast of forest fires is given and zoning of forest areas of the region as for fire danger is carried out. The research identifies the role of natural conditions in the occurrence of forest fires at various territorial levels (continents, countries, regions, areas).

The Impact

AbstrakHaze pollution in the ASEAN region has a result from forest fires inIndonesia has long been on the annual agenda not only for Indonesia butalso began familiar to countries - countries in the ASEAN region. Theexistence of the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution asinternational instruments for overcoming [he haze pollution until now hasnot been taken seriously by the Government of Indonesia as the main actorsof the smoke haze pollution in Southeast Asia. This paper will use theapproach to economic analysis of law in finding out the background ofattitudes and legal actions undertaken by the Government of Indonesia andthe impact - the impact is likely to be accepted by the Government ofIndonesia with such acts.
