Suffered its worst drought for 50 years . Smoke form the fires mixed with sunlight and hot dry air to form a cloud of smog This pollution quickly spread and within days it was hanging over
neighbouring countries including Malaysia．Singapore and Thailand When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars．it soon became poisonous
(有毒的)．Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose．People wheezed f喘息)and coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately．
The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot
(烟灰)covered everything．In some areas，water was hosed(用胶管浇)from high—rise city
buildings to tIY and break up the smog．
