#๐๐๐ญ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฌ | As the region continues to experience transboundary haze caused by the ongoing forest fires in Kalimantan, Indonesia, the public is urged to PRACTICE PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT and STRICTLY AVOID OPEN BURNING.
Air quality monitoring in Agusan del NorteโButuan City Airshed has revealed recent instances of open burningโspecifically involving leaves, tree branches, and other biodegradable yard wasteโin several local communities.
Environmental authorities emphasize that localized burning further worsens air quality during transboundary haze events, increasing health risks for residents, particularly children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions.
Key Reminders for Residents:
โ Avoid Open Burning: Refrain from burning leaves, branches, or organic yard waste.
โ
Practice Proper Waste Disposal: Utilize composting or mulching for biodegradable materials, and segregate waste according to local community guidelines.
Public cooperation is essential to safeguarding community health and preserving air quality throughout the region.
