Air quality in the 'unhealthy' range across Singapore as haze persists
The air quality is expected to be in the "unhealthy" to "high unhealthy" range on Sunday, NEA said.
Singapore's air quality remains unhealthy across the country on Sunday, October 11, as hazy conditions continue. The 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) is expected to be in the unhealthy to high unhealthy range for the next day, according to the National Environment Agency (NEA). Moderate to dense smoke haze originating from southern Sumatra is drifting towards Singapore, with similar haze also observed in parts of Kalimantan.
Some showers are forecast for Singapore and surrounding areas, but dry conditions persist in southern Sumatra and Kalimantan. The NEA has warned that the 24-hour PSI could exceed 200, entering the Very Unhealthy range if smoke haze continues. Measures such as distributing N95 masks and setting up air-conditioned haze shelters are prepared for further deterioration in air quality.
Employers and schools have been advised to limit outdoor activities if the PSI reaches Very Unhealthy levels.
