👉 Myanmar, now known as Myanmar, has faced significant environmental and health issues due to the burning of agricultural and forest residues, often referred to as "myanmar fumes." These fires, primarily conducted during the dry season to clear land for farming or to manage forested areas, release large amounts of smoke and pollutants into the air. The smoke contains particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and other harmful substances that can travel long distances, affecting air quality in neighboring countries and contributing to respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and other health issues for local populations. Additionally, these fires exacerbate climate change by releasing greenhouse gases and contribute to regional haze, impacting visibility and ecosystems across Southeast Asia.
