Singapore grapples with unhealthy air quality as haze persists

Singapore's air quality deteriorated further as haze continued to blanket the island, with early morning readings indicating widespread pollution across multiple monitoring stations. At 8am, 24-hour PSI measurements ranged from 127 to 173, placing air quality squarely in the unhealthy category and prompting health concerns for vulnerable populations. PM2.5 levels, which measure fine particulate matter, were recorded at elevated concentrations in all regions of the island. The persistent haze has affected visibility and air quality across Singapore's urban and residential areas. Authorities have advised residents, particularly the elderly, children, and those with respiratory conditions, to limit outdoor activities and consider using air purifiers indoors.
