KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 — The government has launched a cloud seeding operation in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya to combat the effects of haze and improve air quality in the affected areas. Director-general of the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) Datuk Meor Ismail Meor Akim revealed that the operation will take place today and tomorrow, in collaboration with the Malaysian Meteorological Department, Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, and the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF).
The cloud seeding operation is contingent upon specific Air Pollutant Index (API) readings, with the Department of Environment recording PM2.5 levels exceeding 150 for over 24 hours in the impacted areas. Nadma and the relevant agencies will maintain vigilant monitoring of the haze situation and weather conditions to coordinate timely and effective measures.
