SINGAPORE: Air quality across Singapore remained in the unhealthy range on Saturday (Oct 10) morning, although readings had eased overnight after reaching new highs for this year's haze season on Friday.

At 6am, the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reading was 176 in central Singapore, 164 in the west, 156 in the east, 143 in the south and 126 in the north.

The readings were lower than those recorded on Friday when the central region registered a PSI of 192 at 5pm, the highest reading of this year's haze season.

The 1-hour PM2.5 readings were in the elevated band across Singapore at 6am, ranging from 62 in the north to 124 in the central region. The south recorded 86, while readings in the west and east were 103 and 116 respectively.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) had warned on Friday that the 24-hour PSI could exceed 200 and enter the Very Unhealthy range, as smoke haze from southern Sumatra and Kalimantan continued to be blown towards Singapore. Singapore’s Haze Task Force, comprising 28 government agencies, has been convened and a series of measures are ready to be rolled out should air quality deteriorate further.

Singapore’s Haze Task Force, comprising 28 government agencies, has been convened and a series of measures are ready to be rolled out should air quality deteriorate further.

If the PSI exceeds 200, N95 masks will be distributed to eligible Singaporeans, while air-conditioned haze shelters at community clubs, as well as selected residents' committee and residents' network centres, will be set up.

Preschools must stop outdoor and strenuous indoor activities when air quality is Very Unhealthy, while outdoor sporting activities may be modified or suspended. Employers have also been advised to limit outdoor work.

Schools may be closed if the next day’s 24-hour PSI is forecast to exceed 300 and enter the Hazardous range.

The haze comes as the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix weekend continues at Marina Bay, with the first sprint race in Singapore taking place on Saturday. Organisers have said contingency measures are in place should air quality worsen.

一夜之间读数有所波动，但五个地区的读数均低于高位线。

国家环境局（NEA）周五发出警告，由于来自苏门答腊南部和加里曼丹的烟雾持续向新加坡飘来，24 小时空气污染指数（PSI）可能超过 200，进入“非常不健康”的级别。

新加坡已成立由 28 个政府机构组成的雾霾应对工作组，并准备推出一系列措施，以应对空气质量进一步恶化的情况。

如果 PSI 超过 200，将向符合条件的新加坡人分发 N95 口罩，同时在民众俱乐部以及选定的居民委员会和居民网络中心设立空调雾霾避难所。

当空气质量达到“非常不健康”级别时，幼儿园必须停止所有户外活动和剧烈的室内活动，户外体育活动可以进行调整或暂停。雇主也被建议限制户外工作。

如果预计第二天 24 小时 PSI 值超过 300 并进入危险范围，学校可能会停课。
