Johor air quality clears up, Serian lingers as Malaysia’s lone haze hotspot

Serian in Sarawak remains the sole location in Malaysia with an unhealthy Air Pollutant Index (API) reading, according to the Department of Environment (DoE). The API reading at the IPD Serian monitoring station was 152, classifying it as unhealthy, a slight increase from the 141 recorded the previous evening. Meanwhile, southern Peninsular Malaysia has seen an overnight improvement in air quality, with four previously affected locations in Johor, including Pasir Gudang, Kota Tinggi, Pengerang, and Larkin, no longer registering unhealthy pollution levels.

Nationally, 51 monitoring stations reported moderate air quality, while 12 logged good air quality levels.
