SINGAPORE: Air quality remained in the unhealthy range across Singapore on Tuesday (Oct 13), with hourly PM2.5 levels elevated in all regions except the north.

As of 7am, 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) readings were unhealthy across Singapore, ranging from 126 to 173.

Meanwhile, 1-hour PM2.5 readings were elevated across central, eastern, western and southern Singapore, ranging from 99 to 107. The north recorded a reading of 54, which is within the normal range.

On Monday, hourly PM2.5 readings in western Singapore were in and out of the high band from 3pm, peaking at 171 at 9pm before dipping back into the elevated band. The 1-hour PM2.5 reading in the central region also spiked into the high range on Monday before returning to the elevated band.

According to a Monday evening advisory by the National Environment Agency (NEA), scattered hotspots were detected in Kalimantan and southern Sumatra, with transboundary smoke haze observed over Singapore and southern Peninsular Malaysia.

Though showers may improve the hotspot and smoke haze situation, NEA said there is still a risk of transboundary haze over areas experiencing prolonged dry conditions.

Singapore's 24-hour PSI is forecast to be in the unhealthy range.

NEA also said on Monday that it is "closely monitoring" the haze situation and gathering information on hotspots and their sources, as earlier investigations under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act remain ongoing.

Subsidised treatments for haze-related conditions became available in Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) and polyclinics on Monday as well, following an announcement by Health Minister Ong Ye Kung the day before.

All Singaporeans will be eligible for subsidies at polyclinics, while eligibility at participating PHPCs will be limited to certain groups such as children and seniors.

根据国家环境局（NEA）周一晚间发布的公告，加里曼丹和苏门答腊南部发现了零星热点，新加坡和马来西亚半岛南部上空出现了跨境烟霾。

虽然降雨可能会改善热点地区和烟霾情况，但国家环境局表示，长期干旱地区仍存在跨境烟霾的风险。

预计新加坡24小时空气污染指数（PSI）将处于不健康范围。

国家环境局周一也表示，正在“密切监测”雾霾情况，并收集有关热点地区及其来源的信息，此前根据《跨境雾霾污染法》进行的调查仍在进行中。

继卫生部长王乙康前一天宣布之后，从周一开始，公共卫生应急诊所（PHPC）和综合诊所也开始提供针对雾霾相关疾病的补贴治疗。

所有新加坡公民在综合诊所均可享受补贴，而参与活动的基层医疗中心则仅限特定群体（如儿童和老年人）享受补贴。
