The sun was certainly still not able to fight human greed in Kalimantan...

This morning, Thursday, September 10, 2015, until 08:00 pm, shows itself not separti month-bu; an earlier bright shining light. Today, and it's almost the last month, the sun glowing red like shyly revealed itself as the region and most of the town of Pontianak in West Kalimantan region covered by smog.
Today, for the first time this year, a number of schools were closed because of the smoke. In the area of ​​North Pontianak I witnessed a number of primary schools, such as SDN 21 in Jalan Parit Prince, North Pontianak, were closed because of the smoke are already endangering the health of students. Some schools still require students to wear a mask entered in the study room.



Smoke in the city of Pontianak is a smoke submissions from outside the city, from the burning of land of Ketapang and North Kayong. Until yesterday (9/9) according BMKG Meteorological Station Pontianak Supadio by observation satellites Modis observed 614 api.Kabupaten point Ketapang have observed that most fires that totaled 442 points which is the second most abundant api.Kabupaten have hotspots monitored the District of North Kayong 81 hotspots while for Kubu Raya has 52 hotspots.
 
BMKG also released the horizontal visibility in Pontianak Supadio Airport in the morning at 06.00 am monitored only 600 meters, but at 07.00 am visibility began to gradually turn into 1000 meters. The following observation point Hotspots in Kalimantan through Modis Satellite Imagery:1. Ketapang: 442 points2. North Kayong: 81 points3. Kubu Raya: 52 points4. Melawi: 14 points5. Sanggau and Sintang: 7 points6. Hedgehogs: 4 points7. Mempawah: 3 points8. Sambas and Kapuas Hulu: 2 points9. Bengkayang, Sekadau, Kota Pontianak and Singkawang: No hotspots

 
Due to smog, a number of flights were delayed at the airport Supadio.
 
West Kalimantan province, according to the Head of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) ordinance, Nyarong said, the governor sets the emergency alert status of smoke from forest fires and land from 8 July to November 2015. "This status into account the views of relevant agencies such as the Air Pollution Standard Index ( ISPU) on July 8 showed signs of chocolate in other words is not healthy, "he said in the submission of the report of task force activities and evaluation of the emergency alert status determination of smoke from forest fires and land throughout the West Kalimantan Governor's Office in the Central proverb, Wednesday, 09/09/2015 ( www.tribunews.com).

He explained that the Task Force began working set of the results of the task force and ground operations, 995.32 ha of forest area burned, and extensive extinguished 218.24 ha, while quenched because death itself or by the community 777.08 ha sourced from BKSDA 4 September 2015.
Because there are no symptoms of rain and smoke continues to be produced, then tomorrow, and the next few days will still Pontianak citizens 'enjoy' suffering smoke, suffer because of human greed. The sun was certainly still not able to fight human greed ...
