SINGAPORE - There was a slight haze in some parts of Singapore on Monday afternoon , likely due to an increase in hot spot activity in Sumatra, the National Environment Agency said in a statement on Monday.The unhealthy PSI range, for which NEA advises the public to cut down on time spent outdoors, is 101 to 200.
NEA said PM2.5 concentration readings are a good indicator of current air quality, and those concerned should use them to decide on whether to go for immediate outdoor activities, such as a jog. When the PM2.5 reading is in the elevated range, haze particles can affect the heart and lungs, especially in people who have chronic heart or lung diseases like asthma or heart failure.
The hazy conditions on Monday afternoon come amid an increase in the number of hot spots in central and southern Sumatra.This is also more than triple the 113 hot spots detected last Saturday.
