Kualiti udara di Serian merosot, IPU sangat tidak sihat

Sarawak once again faces air quality issues as air quality in Serian deteriorates to very unhealthy levels. The southern region's air quality, on the other hand, has reportedly improved. According to the Air Pollution Index (API) monitoring system of the Environment Department (JAS), Serian's API reading hit 201 as of yesterday evening.

Other areas across the country also reported unhealthy API readings, led by Kuching with a reading of 185, followed by Samarahan (182); Sri Aman (176); Bintulu (174); Sibu (166); Samalaju (164); Sarikei (164); Miri (161); Mukah (160); Miri Industrial Training Institute (ILP) Miri (154); Limbang (153) and Kapit (121). API readings between 0 and 50 are categorized as good; 51 to 100 as moderate; 101 to 200 as unhealthy; 201 to 300 as very unhealthy; and readings above 300 as hazardous.

Most other regions in the country still have moderate air quality, while nine areas in Peninsular recorded good readings.
