If the 24-hour PSI enters the unhealthy range – where it exceeds 100 – NEA will issue daily haze advisories, including the 24-hour PSI forecast, which the public can use to plan activities and events.<\/p>\n
NEA also said the 28 public agencies that make up the government’s inter-agency Haze Task Force (HTF) are ready to roll out their respective action plans if air quality deteriorates into the unhealthy range.<\/p>\n
Chaired by the NEA, the HTF develops and implements plans to minimise and manage the impact of haze on Singapore, with agencies able to adopt tiered responses based on air quality readings and forecasts.<\/p>\n
The task force convenes annually before the start of the dry season in June to update its plans. It has met twice so far this year – once at the end of January following peatland and vegetation fires in east Johor – and again in April.<\/p>\n
Members of the public should refer to the current one-hour PM2.5 concentration as an indicator of current air quality, as well as its associated personal guide when planning outdoor or strenuous activities, NEA said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reading can fluctuate throughout the day depending on weather conditions, particularly during periods of transboundary haze.<\/p>\n
The effects of haze exposure can be reduced by cutting down on outdoor activities and physical exertion and staying hydrated.<\/p>\n
Those with chronic heart or lung conditions should ensure that medication is readily available, while vulnerable groups – including the elderly, pregnant women and children – should seek medical attention promptly if they develop symptoms or feel unwell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
