Singapore’s smog level reached a all-time high today, as officials head to Jakarta to discuss ways to stem the pollution caused by forest burning on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Singapore’s Pollutant Standards Index jumped to 371 at 1 p.m., the National Environment Agency, or NEA, said on its website. That exceeded the 321 at 10 p.m. yesterday evening, which was a record, according to Channel NewsAsia. A reading above 300 is deemed “hazardous.”
