Recently, the weather in Malaysia has been really hot and humid, and the haze issue has appeared in 5 areas in Malaysia!

According to the data from Malaysian Air Pollution Index System (APIMS), as of 10am on March 2, the air pollution index of 5 areas in the country was at an unhealthy level!

These areas are Johan Setia (185 points), Banting (165 points), Klang (110 points), Petaling Jaya (145 points), and Rompin, Pahang (140 points). The air quality in other areas is basically healthy.

For affected areas, please reduce the chance of going out and stay hydrated all the time. 

According to the experience in the previous years, when the air pollution index of an area exceeds 201 points, schools and classes need to be temporary closed. If the air pollution index exceeds 500 points, the area will enter a haze hazard emergency state.

Malaysia divides the air pollution index into 5 registrations, 0-50 points are good, 51-100 points are medium, 101-200 points are unhealthy, 201-300 points are very unhealthy, and 301 points or more are dangerous.
