The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said in a press release on Tuesday that in anticipation of the onset of drier weather, the government inter-agency haze task force has been coordinating action plans for possible haze.
Higher hot spot counts may be expected in the fire-prone areas of this region under prevailing dry weather conditions, with an increased risk of smoke haze development.
While N95 masks are not needed indoors or during short exposures such as commuting, a healthy person who has to be outdoors for several hours when the air quality is in the hazardous range can reduce exposure by wearing an N95 mask.
For air purifiers, an appropriate one should have a clean air delivery rate number that is at least three times the volume of the room in cubic metres.
“Drier and warmer conditions are conducive to the development of peatland and vegetation fires. Therefore, hotspots could escalate from June 2023 under extended periods of drier weather, particularly in fire prone areas,” said MSS.
“This will increase the risk of transboundary haze affecting Singapore if fires develop in close proximity and prevailing south-easterly to south-westerly winds blow smoke haze from the fires towards Singapore,” added MSS.
Haze is an atmospheric phenomenon where tiny harmful pollutants and allergens coming from a variety of both natural and manmade sources that are suspended in air obscure the visibility and clarity of the sky. The foggier the air gets, the more harmful pollutants are present in the air.
These harmful airborne contaminants include fine dust, traffic fumes, wildfire soot, industrial smoke and can cause allergies such as cough, wheezing, shortness of breath and a feeling of tiredness and restlessness. Its effect can become aggravated in those with pre-existing heart or lung diseases.
