SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore Grand Prix organisers are stocking up on disposable face masks to potentially sell to spectators as the worst air pollution in three years threatens to taint the city-state's marquee sports event.

Organisers will be keeping close tabs on air pollution readings as the $100 million street race kicks off on Friday, just days after Singapore authorities warned haze levels could worsen and advised people to reduce outdoor activity.
