SINGAPORE: Air quality in all five regions of Singapore remained in the unhealthy range on Monday (Oct 12), though 1-hour PM2.5 levels have fallen back into the normal range in some areas.

The 24-hour Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) readings ranged from 104 to 148 at 9am - all within the unhealthy range.

Hourly PM2.5 levels were elevated in central, eastern and western Singapore. The north and south recorded PM2.5 levels in the normal band.

In its Sunday evening advisory, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said that despite the showers forecast over Singapore, prevailing southeasterly or southerly winds may still cause smoke haze from southern Sumatra and Kalimantan to drift towards Singapore.

The 24-hour PSI for Singapore was forecast to be in the unhealthy range.

"While the hotspot and smoke haze situation may improve in areas experiencing showers, the situation is expected to remain elevated in fire-prone regions experiencing prolonged dry conditions, with a continued risk of severe transboundary haze occurrence," NEA said.

The 24-hour PSI for Singapore was forecast to be in the unhealthy range.

On Monday, subsidised treatments for haze-related conditions came into effect at Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) and polyclinics.

This comes after an announcement by Health Minister Ong Ye Kung, who said that all Singaporeans will be eligible for subsidies at polyclinics, while eligibility at participating PHPCs will be limited to certain groups, including children and seniors.

On Friday night, the government's Haze Task Force announced that N95 masks will be distributed to more vulnerable individuals when the 24-hour PSI exceeds 200 and enters the very unhealthy range.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) will consider closing schools when the air quality forecast for the next day is in the hazardous range, with the 24-hour PSI exceeding 300, the task force said.

If school closures coincide with national examinations, the affected examination papers will be rescheduled and the examination period extended.

新加坡：周一（10 月 12 日），新加坡所有五个地区的空气质量仍处于不健康范围，尽管部分地区的 1 小时 PM2.5 水平已回落至正常范围。

上午 9 点的 24 小时污染物标准指数 (PSI) 读数在 104 到 148 之间——全部都在不健康的范围内。

新加坡中部、东部和西部地区的PM2.5小时浓度偏高，而北部和南部地区的PM2.5浓度则处于正常范围内。

新加坡国家环境局（NEA）在周日晚间的公告中表示，尽管新加坡预计会有阵雨，但盛行的东南风或南风仍可能导致来自苏门答腊南部和加里曼丹的烟雾飘向新加坡。

新加坡24小时空气污染指数预计将处于不健康范围。

周一，公共卫生应急诊所 (PHPC) 和综合诊所开始实施针对雾霾相关疾病的补贴治疗。

此前，卫生部长王乙康宣布，所有新加坡公民在综合诊所就诊均可享受补贴，而参与的基层医疗中心（PHPC）的补贴资格将仅限于某些群体，包括儿童和老年人。

周五晚上，政府的雾霾工作组宣布，当 24 小时 PSI 超过 200 并进入非常不健康的范围时，将向更易感人群分发 N95 口罩。

教育部工作组表示，如果第二天的空气质量预报处于危险范围，24 小时 PSI 值超过 300，教育部将考虑关闭学校。

如果学校停课与全国性考试重合，受影响的考试科目将重新安排考试时间，考试期限也将延长。
