Neutrino Supercharged February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 (edited) looks pretty bad..the orange circle is close to Sinkapor From my flat in Clementi the wind direction is obviously from the north east therefore blowing any haze from the fires away from Singapore. But the fact is that visibility has been very poor all this year and also last year in November and December. I can usually see Gunung Pulai close to Kulai very easily in fact can see the radio or telephone towers on the top of the mountain, but for the last 3 or 4 months seldom see the mountain itself. Why is the visibility so bad. Dunno like as it can't be haze from fires as wind direction is wrong and also no wood burning smell.

Baal Supersonic February 18, 2014 Share February 18, 2014 http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/02/14/nea-heeds-tres-wake-up-call/ NEA heeds TRE’s wake-up call February 14th, 2014 | Author: Editorial Yesterday (13 Feb), TRE reported that parts of Singapore are experiencing a return of the haze (‘The haze is back‘). At the same time, TRE criticised the National Environment Agency (NEA) for carrying an out-of-date message on its Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) webpage [Link]. TRE said, “Disconcertingly, NEA’s PSI webpage still showed a message that is surely out of date: DISCONTINUATION OF DAILY HAZE ADVISORY 19 October 2013 Over the past week, Sumatra has been experiencing wetter weather conditions. As we enter the Inter-Monsoon period, more rains can be expected in the coming weeks. This signals the end of the dry season in Sumatra, and the likelihood of transboundary haze affecting Singapore for the rest of the year will be low… TRE then said, “Hello, time to wake up, NEA!” The editorial called ‘The haze is back‘ was published at 8:30am, 13 February 2014. Within hours, NEA removed the outdated message and replaced it with a “Health Advisory for General Public and Workers” [Link]. NEA’s health advisory includes a table with various 24-hour PSI levels and NEA’s advice as to what certain categories of people should do for any particular PSI level. These categories are a) healthy people, b) elderly people, pregnant women and children, and c) persons with chronic lung disease, heart disease or stroke. People in the first category (i.e. healthy people) are considered better able to bear the health impact of haze than people in the second category (i.e. elderly people, pregnant women and children) while the third category of people (i.e. persons with chronic lung disease, heart disease or stroke) are considered most vulnerable to the harmful effects of haze. However, NEA’s new health advisory is problematic – it lumps “good” and “moderate” levels of air quality together under “<100″: NEA describes air quality as follows: PSI Value Air Quality Descriptor0 – 50 Good51 – 100 Moderate101 – 200 Unhealthy201 – 300 Very unhealthyAbove 300 Hazardous Note that “good” applies to PSI levels or values of 0-50, whereas “moderate” describes air quality for PSI levels of 51-100. In other words, a PSI level of, say, 88 means that the air is not “good” but “moderate”. Last June, when the PSI level actually hit 88, some people reportedly suffered from blocked nose, skin irritation and breathing difficulties [Link]. However, in the health advisory, a PSI level of 88 attracts a confusing “good/moderate” description which misleads people into thinking everything is hunky-dory by telling everyone to carry on with their “normal activities”. Is NEA trying to downplay the haze? What do you think? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
