NEA Issues Haze Advisory: How to Stay Safe During Air Quality Changes
The National Environment Agency (NEA) has provided an update on the haze situation in Singapore as of 25 September 2026. As air quality can change throughout the day, the agency is reminding residents to stay informed and monitor local conditions regularly to protect their health.
To help the public make safe decisions, the NEA uses a simple two-band system based on the 1-hour PM2.5 concentration levels. When the air quality is in the Normal range, which is classified as Band 1, residents can continue with their usual daily activities without any special restrictions.
However, if the air quality reaches the Elevated range, known as Band 2, the situation changes. During these periods, the NEA advises the public to avoid strenuous outdoor activities for the next hour to minimize exposure to fine particulate matter.
Staying updated is essential for everyone in Singapore, especially for those who enjoy exercising outdoors. By checking the latest NEA reports, residents can ensure they are taking the right precautions to keep themselves and their families safe during periods of hazy weather.
