我评估了1997年4月至11月期间印度尼西亚发生的一系列广泛火灾造成的空气污染对马来西亚人口健康的影响。我描述了火灾是如何发生的，以及为什么相关的空气污染如此广泛和持久。主要目的是揭示任何死亡率影响，并评估其程度和重要性。我还调查了死亡率的影响是持久的，还是代表了一种短期的死亡率收获效应。结果表明，火灾产生的烟雾对马来西亚人口的健康产生了有害影响。
I assess the population health effects in Malaysia of air pollution from a widespread series of fires that occurred in Indonesia between April and November of 1997. I describe how the fires occurred and why the associated air pollution was so widespread and long lasting. The main objective is to uncover any mortality effects and to assess how large and important they were. I also investigate whether the mortality effects were persistent or whether they represented a short-term, mortality-harvesting effect. The results show that the smoke haze from the fires had a deleterious effect on the health of the population in Malaysia.
