NEA says haze situation set to improve
SINGAPORE: Over the past three days, air quality had been affected by an increase in land and forest fires in Indonesia’s Riau province, due to a dry spell in the region.
However, the situation improved on Monday with visibly clearer skies. The National Environment Agency’s pollutant standards index also showed that the air quality was back in the ’good’ range.
At 4pm, the PSI stood at 44 after days of moderate’ air quality.
On Sunday, PSI rose to 56.
Most school officials said they are keeping an eye on the pollutant standards index. If the situation worsens, they have their alternatives such as substituting outdoor activities with indoor ones.
According to the National Environment Agency, rain over the past two days in central and Southern Sumatra helped to alleviate the haze.
The latest satellite pass also showed two hotspots in Sumatra, a significant drop from the hotspot count of 100 on 21 Feb.
Impending showers and strong winds are expected to ease the situation further, improving the air quality in the coming days. —CNA/vm
