Updated Smoke Exposure Estimate for Indonesian Peatland Fires Using a Network of Low-Cost PM Sensors and a Regional Air Quality Model.

Indonesia accounts for more than one third of the world's tropical peatlands. Much of the peatland in Indonesia has been deforested and drained, meaning it is more susceptible to fires, especially during drought and El Niño events. Fires are most common in Riau (Sumatra) and Central Kalimantan (Borneo) and lead to poor regional air quality.
