Singapore's air quality continued to be in the unhealthy range as of October 11, 2026, according to a report by The Straits Times. The haze, primarily caused by regional forest fires, has led to elevated levels of particulate matter in the air.
The National Environment Agency reported that PM2.5 levels exceeded the World Health Organization's safe limits. The haze has affected visibility and raised concerns among residents. Schools in some areas have implemented indoor activities to reduce exposure.
This situation follows a pattern of annual haze episodes linked to agricultural burning in neighboring countries. Singapore has long been affected by transboundary air pollution. The government has urged regional cooperation to address the root causes of the haze.
