Source: RAND Corporation. Published: 8/6/2019. This report assesses the public health benefits in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore from policies to reduce fires by integrating information on fire emissions, atmospheric transport patterns, and population exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The effectiveness of these different strategies in mitigating human health impacts depends on the location of fires relative to the population distribution. The report provides a framework that can be used to prioritize restoration locations for the Indonesian Peatland Restoration Agency based on their ability to reduce pollution exposure and health burden.
