  If the haze occurs again during the 2010 Youth Olympics, then we may have to kiss our candidacy goodbye...

  The burnt smell is more distinct in the early early morning.

   

  PSI reading for the day is in the 50s, moderate range.

  The PSI has been increasing steadily since Chinese New Year (27 PSI).

  I wonder if Indonesia will sabotage our 2010 Youth Olympic Games.

  I believe you are correct.

   

  The regional haze maps shows lots of hotspots in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.

   

  There are afew hotspots in Borneo and Sumatra.

  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
