Abstract
The Southeast Asia haze is an annual problem and its worst could produce respirable particles of concentrations up to 500 0 μg/m3 which is five times the level considered as unhealthy. However, there are limited reports examining the direct clinical impact of the annual haze. This study examines the effects of the SEA haze on respiratory admissions.
