    Forest fires in Indonesia have caused hazy conditions in parts of the Visayas and Mindanao regions of the Philippines. Haze occurs when smoke and fine particles accumulate in the air, reducing visibility. Short term haze exposure can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, and affect the heart and lungs, especially for those with pre-existing conditions. Long term exposure poses more serious health risks, and may lead to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases or reduced lung development. People are advised to stay indoors, wash hands and faces, use air purifiers and masks, drink water, and eat fruits and vegetables to boost immunity during haze conditions.
