Four Johor areas record unhealthy air quality levels

Four areas across Johor are experiencing unhealthy air quality, with Air Pollutant Index (API) readings between 129 and 154, according to latest environmental data from the state.

The affected districts have moved into the unhealthy category, prompting authorities to monitor air quality conditions closely. The readings indicate elevated levels of air pollutants that may pose health risks to vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions.

Other parts of Johor have seen improving air quality, with API readings moving away from unhealthy thresholds. The variation across the state reflects localized atmospheric conditions and pollution sources affecting different regions differently.

Healthy API readings typically fall below 50, while readings between 101 and 200 are classified as unhealthy. Residents in affected areas have been advised to take precautionary measures, including limiting outdoor activities and using air filtration devices where necessary.

State authorities continue to monitor air quality across Johor and have urged the public to check real-time API updates from official environmental monitoring channels.
