RESULTS: These data show that there was a significant impact of haze to the human lung. There was a significant increase in respiratory conditions, lung function complaints and other related impacts. CONCLUSION: Further studies, especially cohort studies, should be undertaken so that the long-term' impact of pollution from forest fires can be known.
