SINGAPORE: More than three years after Singapore last experienced transboundary haze, the government has warned that it could return this year.
There is a 70 to 80 per cent chance of an El Nino event occurring this year, and that affects Singapore’s rainfall. "Drier and warmer conditions are conducive to the development of peatland and vegetation fires," the Met Service said. A 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index reading of between 101 and 200 is considered unhealthy. The index measures six pollutants and is used as an indicator of air quality.Last month, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu wrote on Facebook that the NEA has convened Singapore’s Haze Task Force to review and prepare its response in the case of transboundary haze.
