Only two Sarawak areas maintain unhealthy air quality levels

Air quality conditions in Sarawak have shown signs of improvement, with most areas moving away from hazardous pollution levels. Serian, which was placed under an air pollution emergency status on Friday, has seen its Air Pollutant Index (API) readings drop significantly, with measurements falling below 200 on Monday morning.

The improvement in Serian marks a positive turnaround from the critical conditions that prompted the emergency declaration just days earlier. However, authorities report that two districts in the state continue to record unhealthy air quality readings, indicating that air pollution remains a concern in specific regions of Sarawak.

The fluctuations in air quality levels across Sarawak reflect ongoing atmospheric conditions affecting the region. Officials are continuing to monitor pollution levels closely to ensure public health and safety, particularly in areas where readings remain elevated.

Residents in affected areas have been advised to monitor air quality updates and take appropriate precautions when pollution levels rise. The improvement in Serian demonstrates that conditions can shift relatively quickly, though sustained monitoring remains essential across all districts.
