NASA satellite data collected between October 13 and October 15, 2026 shows elevated carbon monoxide concentrations across much of Indonesia. The map comes from NASA's Eyes on the Earth platform and reflects CO levels measured at about 5.5 kilometers above the surface. Red and orange areas mark the highest readings, and local reporting links the plume to forest and land fires. Carbon monoxide is a health hazard and a climate-relevant pollutant. It can persist in the atmosphere for about a month, and it influences ground-level ozone and methane dynamics. The article also covers exposure symptoms and basic safety guidance, but it does not include burn area estimates or emission totals, which would make the satellite signal easier to connect to actual fire activity.
