SINGAPORE: There is no correlation between burning or chemical smells and the ambient air quality readings, Senior Minister of State for ...
NEA uses both satellite remoting sensing and a network of real-time ambient air monitoring sensors across Singapore to monitor air pollution levels, according to Dr Khor.
Prevailing north-easterly winds blew the smoke plumes towards Singapore, causing “intermittent burning smells over the past few weeks", Dr Khor said. Readings of air pollutants are available publicly on the NEA website and the myEnv app, which has hourly updates from NEA. Fumes from toxic chemicals dumped in Sungai Kim Kim caused students and teachers from nearby schools to experience shortness of breath and vomiting.
