我们结合了基于人口的纵向调查数据与卫星测量的气溶胶水平，以评估1997年底覆盖印度尼西亚加里曼丹岛和苏门答腊岛的森林火灾烟雾对成人健康的影响。为了解释雾霾和非雾霾地区之间未观察到的差异，我们比较了个体受访者的健康变化。在1993年至1997年期间，暴露于雾霾的个人在日常生活活动中遇到的困难比非雾霾地区的人要大。呼吸和一般健康的结果，虽然解释起来更复杂，但表明雾霾对这些健康方面产生了负面影响。
We combined data from a population-based longitudinal survey with satellite measures of aerosol levels to assess the impact of smoke from forest fires that blanketed the Indonesian islands of Kalimantan and Sumatra in late 1997 on adult health. To account for unobserved differences between haze and nonhaze areas, we compared changes in the health of individual respondents. Between 1993 and 1997 individuals who were exposed to haze experienced greater increases in difficulty with activities of daily living than did their counterparts in nonhaze areas. The results for respiratory and general health, although more complicated to interpret, suggest that haze had a negative impact on these dimensions of health.
