  "account": "Air quality in parts of Selangor's Klang Valley is dangerously poor, according to recent data. Urban centers such as Shah Alam, Putrajaya, Cheras, Banting, Petaling Jaya, Batu Muda, and Kuala Selangor have recorded unhealthy levels of air pollution, with some areas nearing extremely unhealthy conditions. The capital city, Petaling Jaya, reported an Index of Pollutant Concentration (IPU) of 168, while Shah Alam recorded 179, Putrajaya 175, Cheras 172, Banting 170, Petaling Jaya 168, Batu Muda 162, and Kuala Selangor 161.\n\nThe IPU scale categorizes air quality as good (0-50), moderate (51-100), unhealthy (101-200), very unhealthy (201-300), and hazardous (more than 300). Malaysian authorities consider an IPU reading of 201 or higher as severely unhealthy. Similar unhealthy air quality conditions were reported across several states, including Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Pahang, Sarawak, and Sabah.",
