Was I the only one smelling it for the last 2-3 days, or did anybody smell it too? Like burnt smell..could it be from Indonesia?

If you go to the NEA app and tap PSI then Regional Haze, it shows there is nothing of significance regionally. Maybe it’s coming from the massive oil refinery complex in Pengernang. I don’t know enough about the petroleum industry to comment on how much pollution it generates or how bad the emissions are for humans, but it’s a fairly recent (and very large) development not too far from these shores.

Haven't noticed anything... the last time I remember there being bad haze was in 2015. Anyhow, can't be anywhere as bad as New York this past week.
