印尼野火造成的持續數月霾害籠罩東南亞部分地區,迫使學校停課並導致呼吸道疾病增加。
製造商表示,印尼野火產生的有毒霾害,帶動整個地區對氧氣瓶與空氣清淨機需求激增,他們正晝夜不停地生產,以提供能拯救生命的潔淨空氣設備。
法新社報導,這場持續數月的霾害籠罩東南亞部分地區,不僅迫使學校停課,也導致呼吸道疾病病例增加。許多家庭搶購設備,希望維持室內空氣潔淨。
在吉隆坡郊區的醫療器材公司AA Alive,員工正全速趕工交付氧氣瓶。公司主管表示,氧氣瓶銷量正急速攀升。
AA Alive業務團隊成員費道斯(Rafina Firdaus)在法新社參訪期間表示:「受霾害影響,我們的銷售額增加了35%。當我剛入行時,看到居然有這麼多病患需要使用氧氣瓶,感到很驚訝。」
AA Alive提供氧氣瓶及製氧機給病患使用。氧氣瓶可連續使用約3小時,製氧機則可使用約24小時。
69歲的布江(Md Noor Bin Bujang)住院1個多月後,於15日傍晚才拿到他的第一台製氧機。
他告訴法新社,若沒有這套供氧設備,他就會「呼吸急促,尤其是在霾害期間」。
AA Alive 26歲技術員克汗(Mubassar Khan)表示,製氧機濾網通常使用1000小時後才需更換,但霾害中的污染物使濾網壽命縮短了一半。

The Ministry of Water Resources and the China Meteorological Administration jointly issued a blue flash flood disaster weather warning at 18:00 on October 18, and it is expected that flash floods may occur in many places. On the same day, the Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue blue warnings for strong winds. There will be strong winds of magnitude 5 to 9 in many provinces, regions and sea areas.

Conservation groups say they have rescued dozens of critically endangered orangutans in recent weeks from Indonesian forest and land fires that have been burning for months, creating a toxic haze that has blanketed Southeast Asia.

Typhoon Qiangbi continues to intensify, and the Meteorological Administration predicts that the Coast Guard will be issued as soon as Wednesday evening, and it does not rule out the issuance of land warning from Thursday to Friday. Friday and Saturday will be the worst affected by typhoons and the northeast monsoon, with rain falling across Taiwan. Coastal areas must be careful of strong winds and long waves.

The strong typhoon Qiangpi continues to move westward and its path is revised westward. The latest forecast from the Central Meteorological Administration shows that the potential error circle on Friday has covered the entire Taiwan. The probability of invasion in various places is gradually increasing. Hualien and Yilanda are nearly 50%. There are still 5 days before it will affect Taiwan. There is still room for correction of the path in the later period.

Taiwanese eco-friendly cleaning brand picupi partnered with FamilyMart to transform discarded clam shells and commercial milk bottles into cleaning agent ingredients and packaging, creating a circular supply chain and winning the 2026 Japan Good Design Award.

The strong typhoon Qiangpi continues to move westward and will strengthen again in the future and challenge this year's wind king throne. Experts pointed out that the latest AI model collection shows that about 70% of the members are very close to or passing through Taiwan. The key lies in the weakening of the Pacific high pressure, and future trends still need to be continuously observed.
