PETALING JAYA: Climate experts are warning that the approaching dry weather will provide a conducive environment for open burning in the country.

Prof Dr Fredolin Tangang said during dry conditions – brought about by the absence of rain for several weeks – biomass materials exposed from illegal open burning could contribute to haze and cause serious health effects.
