(AFP pic)SINGAPORE: Singapore will “keep its options open” on taking legal action against errant companies as air quality in the city-state deteriorates to very unhealthy levels.
Singapore is collecting data on the haze as it weighs possible action under its Transboundary Haze Pollution Act, the minister for sustainability and the environment Grace Fu told local media Wednesday evening.
The law, enacted in 2014, targets those responsible for causing or condoning fires if the resulting haze causes the Pollutant Standards Index, a measure of air quality, to remain in the unhealthy range for 24 hours or more.
