The return of the haze to Singapore has brought the predictable round of complaints, analysis, hand-wringing, and soul-searching, but the problem never seems to improve. To establish a basis for actionable intervention, it is critical to link policy solutions with evidence about the health impacts of the haze—on residents of Indonesia. However, exacerbating these challenges are patterns of behavior that are beyond the reach of government. Effective solutions will materialize only after an evolution in Indonesia’s popular and political attitudes regarding forest burning.
