Due to its high carbon content, dry peat is extremely susceptible to burning, especially during the dry season. Studies have shown that peat fires are a major contributor to the haze. In 2009, around 40% of all fires in Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra and Java were detected in peatlands, even though they cover only 10% of the land area ...
