KUCHING — Air quality in Lundu has taken a sharp turn for the worse, entering the 'very unhealthy' category on Wednesday morning as haze continues to grip parts of Sarawak. The deterioration marks an escalation in air pollution levels across the state's interior regions.
Serian and Kanowit districts remain among the hardest hit areas, with both locations continuing to experience choking conditions that have prompted concern among residents and authorities. The worsening haze has raised questions about visibility and potential health impacts for communities in affected zones.
The situation reflects broader air quality challenges facing eastern Malaysia during this period. Monitoring agencies have been tracking hourly fluctuations in pollution indices across multiple locations as weather patterns continue to influence atmospheric conditions in the region.
Residents in affected areas have been advised to take precautionary measures, including limiting outdoor activities and using appropriate respiratory protection where necessary. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely as conditions remain volatile.
