Haze hits southern S’wak


By YU JI

Hazy scene: The picturesque view along the Sarawak River has lost some of its lustre due to the haze.

KUCHING: Southern Sarawak is shrouded in haze, with pollution readings breaching unhealthy levels. At the start of the weekend, the Air Pollutant Index (API) was still within the moderate range of 51 to 100 on Friday evening but rose steadily later.

By noon on Saturday, visibility had reduced to about 5km and yesterday morning, the smell of ash was evident.
