Haze conditions in Malaysia have worsened once more, according to data from the Malaysian Air Pollutant Index Management System (APIMS). As of 12:30 pm, 31 areas across the country were experiencing API readings at unhealthy levels, a setback after two days of improving conditions. The highest API reading was recorded in Serian, Sarawak at 175, followed by Pasir Gudang, Johor (172) and Larkin, Johor (172).
Other areas such as Nilai, Negeri Sembilan (169), Johan Setia, Selangor (169) and Cheras, Kuala Lumpur (165) also reported unhealthy levels. In contrast to last Sunday when only six areas recorded unhealthy readings, the number has risen again in several states including Sarawak, Johor, Selangor, and Negeri Sembilan. The air quality, which had previously improved, has now deteriorated, particularly in these regions.
API readings between 101 and 200 are classified as unhealthy, while readings between 201 and 300 are categorized as very unhealthy.
