印度尼西亚每周的森林火灾排放量已成为世界上最高水平

印度尼西亚领先全球火灾排放量

Wildfires burning across Indonesia released an estimated 19.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from September 1 through September 7, making the country the world's largest source of fire emissions for that week. The European Union's Copernicus monitoring data put Indonesia ahead of Russia and attributed more than one-third of the global total to the archipelago.

The fires are concentrated in parts of Kalimantan on Borneo and eastern Sumatra, where drought has dried forests and carbon-rich peat. Copernicus measured fire-emission intensity above 1,500 kilograms per square kilometre, more than ten times the Russian level. Weekly emissions stood 273 percent above Indonesia's seasonal average, although below the equivalent week during the severe 2015 crisis.

干旱加大了农民危险

路透社报道,厄尔尼诺加剧的条件产生了异常热和干燥的天气,使火焰更具侵略性传播。 印度尼西亚当局将这个季节列为11年来最强烈的季节。 欧盟太空支持办公室分别记录了在加利曼坦西部Ketapang周围持续的火灾和大烟雾,使用9月2日收到的Sentinel-2图像。

皮火造成了特定的监测和政策问题,因为它们可以在地下或太低的温度下,在某些卫星传感器上更顺利。 这意味着卫星产生的总数可以突出燃烧的规模。 奶油还存储了大量的碳积累在长时间,因此它的燃烧增加不比例的温室气体和粒子污染。

健康与区域影响

Hazardous air was already being recorded in parts of Kalimantan, while official Indonesian health data cited by the EU indicated more than 50,000 fire-associated respiratory infections during July and August, including over 12,000 among children younger than five. Smoke from recurring Indonesian fires can also move across national borders, making Malaysia and Singapore attentive to wind direction and fire persistence.

即时测试是否会导致消防、步行重建和降雨,在季节预期的峰值之前减缓排放。 科珀尼克斯专家警告说,燃烧可能持续到10月底,就像2015年那样。 最新地面估计、医院数据和跨境空气质量阅读将显示当前的上升是否会成为延长的区域紧急情况。
