Haze: 11 Areas Record Unhealthy API Readings, Serian Highest
Published
At 11 a.m., eleven areas across the country recorded Air Pollutant Index (API) readings at the unhealthy level. Serian recorded the highest reading compared with other areas.
In addition, 47 areas recorded API readings at the moderate level, while 10 areas recorded readings at the good level. API readings between zero and 50 indicate good air quality, while higher readings indicate increasingly polluted air.
For areas recording unhealthy readings, the public is advised to reduce outdoor activities. More sensitive groups, such as children, the elderly and asthma patients, should be more cautious because polluted air can affect their respiratory health.
The public is encouraged to constantly monitor the latest API readings through the official government website or application before planning daily activities.
