Stop Wildfire- Don ' t Let the Haze Damage Your Lung Rizka Febriana Fitrie, Ririn Puspita Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sriwijaya, Indonesia
Nowadays, climate change has become an ultimate threat to all regions around the world. Climate change itself refers to the rise in global temperatures. As the global temperature rises, the forest areas are becoming drier and more susceptible to be burned by the fire that started by lightning strikes or human activities. Besides that, climate changes also affect the weather pattern causing more intense El Niño. El Niño increases the likelihood that once wildfires started, they will be more intense and longburning. In Indonesia, Kalimantan( Borneo) and Sumatra are the areas that show the highest prevalence of fire spots. The wildfire causes damage to the trees and produces haze that increases air pollution that can affect human health. It mainly caused by the irritant effects of the haze to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. This can cause various diseases in human body especially the lung.
Through this poster, we would like to inform the public about the bad impact of wildfire not just to the environment but also our health. This poster also provides several ways to protect the society from the bad impact of the haze. We also want to gain public awareness to fight against wildfire because those who save the lung of the earth also save the lung of the body. So, let’ s stop the wildfire, restore the forest, and don ' t let the haze damage your lung!
