Air Quality Stays Moderate Across Singapore, with Brief Rise in the North
Published
Air quality across Singapore remained at a moderate level on Tuesday, October 27, according to the National Environment Agency. However, the 1-hour PM2.5 reading in northern Singapore rose into the elevated range during the afternoon.
PM2.5 refers to very fine particles in the air. These particles are small enough to enter the lungs, so readings are closely monitored. Even though the level in the north increased, the air quality in the rest of the country stayed within the moderate range.
People who are sensitive to air pollution, such as those with asthma or heart conditions, may wish to take extra care when the reading is high. Residents can check the latest air quality information through official government channels and mobile applications.
Authorities will continue to monitor conditions across the island, and updates will be given if the readings change significantly.
