Kualiti udara semakin baik, IPU Serian masih tahap bahaya
Tiga kawasan kini merekodkan kualiti udara baik, manakala bacaan IPU di Lembah Klang kebanyakannya berada pada tahap sederhana, meskipun menghampiri tahap tidak sihat.
Air quality in Malaysia has shown improvements, especially in Sarawak where only one region recorded an Air Pollution Index (API) value of 343 at 8 a.m., categorizing it as "very unhealthy". Serian had the highest API value of 343, while four other areas – Sri Aman (298), Kuching (276), Samarahan (257), and Sarikei (227) – reported "severely unhealthy" air quality.
Several other Sarawak regions maintained a "unhealthy" air quality, including Sibu (191), Bintulu (176), Kapit (176), Mukah (172), Samalaju (167), Limbang (155), Institut Latihan Perindustrian Miri (153), and Miri (134). Labuan and most of Sabah's regions also experienced unhealthy air quality, with Sandakan recording a low of 88.
Three Peninsular Malaysia locations – Kangar, Perlis (49), Tanah Merah, Kelantan (49), and Langkawi, Kedah – recorded "good" air quality. Most Kuala Lumpur districts, including Batu Muda (98), Shah Alam (98), Cheras (97), Putrajaya (91), and Petaling Jaya (88), were close to, but not yet in, the "unhealthy" range. Only Johan Setia in Selangor recorded an "unhealthy" API value.
The API scale ranges from 0 to 300, with values between 0-50 indicating good air quality, 51-100 suggesting moderate, 101-200 unhealthy, 201-300 very unhealthy, and above 300 classified as hazardous.
