Indonesia drops 2.4 tonnes of dry ice over South Sumatra to tackle haze

Description

Indonesia has tested dropping 2.4 tonnes of dry ice over South Sumatra in an effort to tackle haze caused by forest and land fires. The two-day operation from Oct 15 to 16 aimed to disperse smoke trapped near the ground and improve visibility. Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) is assessing the technique's effectiveness and may continue operations until rain falls and air quality improves. If successful, the method could also be used in other haze-affected areas. https://cna.asia/4z6LFGc Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
