‘Very unhealthy’ air quality returns to Serian as Sarawak battles haze
The API in Serian stood at 201 as of 6pm, while the rest of Sarawak recorded unhealthy levels.
Sarawak is once again grappling with the harmful effects of haze, as air quality deteriorates to very unhealthy levels in the region. Within the state, the city of Serian is currently experiencing hazardous air conditions, with an Air Pollution Index (API) reading of 201 as of 6pm. The rest of Sarawak is also grappling with unhealthy air quality, with Kuching recording the highest API reading at 185.
Other towns in Sarawak, including Samarahan, Sri Aman, Bintulu, Sibu, Samalaju, Sarikei, Miri, Mukah, and the Miri Industrial Training Institute, are also experiencing unhealthy air conditions, all falling within the 166 to 185 API range.
In contrast, the rest of Malaysia is currently enjoying better air quality, with only nine areas in the peninsula reporting good air quality.
