Singapore's air quality remained unhealthy across all regions on Thursday as persistent haze pushed the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) to as high as 159 in the west. The National Environment Agency (NEA) data showed that the 24-hour PSI stood at 159 in the west, 142 in central Singapore, 122 in the east, 112 in the north and 111 in the south.
Meanwhile, one-hour PM2.5 readings were in the elevated band in western and central Singapore, and in the normal band in other regions. The haze was attributed to scattered hotspots in Kalimantan and Sumatra, as well as few hotspots in other parts of the southern Asean region.
