281 reading the highest recorded since onset of haze last month


PETALING JAYA: Air quality in the Klang Valley fell to very unhealthy levels yesterday, forcing the closure of hundreds of schools as well as flight cancellations and delays as thick haze cut visibility at Subang airport.

The highest Air Pollutant Index (API) reading was in Shah Alam with 281 at 11am, the highest recorded since the onset of the haze late last month.
