Singapore pollution spikes as Indonesia haze worsens
Original: Singapore pollution spikes, East Timor shuts schools as Indonesia wildfire haze intensifies
Air pollution in Singapore has spiked and East Timor has closed schools as smoke from wildfires in Indonesia intensifies across the region. The annual haze season, driven by land and forest fires often lit to clear land in Indonesia, is pushing air quality to unhealthy levels and forcing authorities in neighbouring countries to take protective measures for residents and schoolchildren.
Why now: Cross-border haze from Indonesian wildfires is deteriorating air quality and disrupting daily life in Singapore and East Timor.
