Malaysia's Air Quality Improving: 21 Areas Record Good Readings, 47 Areas at Moderate Level
Published
KUALA LUMPUR (31 Oct) – As of Saturday, a total of 47 areas across the country recorded Air Pollutant Index (API) readings at a moderate level. At the same time, 21 other areas recorded good readings. No haze has been reported in the country.
The API is a measure used to indicate the level of air quality in an area. Readings between 0 and 50 are considered good, while readings between 51 and 100 are considered moderate. The higher the API reading, the higher the level of air pollution in that area.
A moderate reading means the air quality is still acceptable to most people. However, sensitive groups, such as the elderly, children and asthma patients, should be more cautious when spending long periods outdoors.
The public is advised to always check the latest API readings before planning outdoor activities. Air conditions can change from time to time, depending on the weather and activities in an area.
