Earlier this week, on Monday, residents, especially from the north-east area, started reporting on a burning smell, which eventually spread all over Singapore.
The NEA reported that there were no harmful chemicals in the air and it might be the convergence of wind that caused the mysterious smell.
Yesterday NEA gave an update on the situation.
If you can’t read it. This is what they said:
On 27 September, expect cloudy conditions with light winds. The 24-hour PSI reading was in the moderate range (61-69) and the 1-hour PM2.5 concentration readings were 9-18 µg/m3, in Band I (Normal).
No hotspots in Sumatra (the place which gives us haze, by the way) were detected.
For the next few days, Singapore is unlikely to be affected by haze from Sumatra.
NEA also mentioned that dry season in Southern ASEAN region is from June to October when forest fires tend to occur.
In other words, it wasn’t the haze.
It doesn’t really say much…
An article by Channel NewsAsia (CNA) reported that the smell and fog might have originated from Malaysia. Dr Ang Peng Hwa, part of the Haze Elimination Action Team told CNA that you get a burning smell from the haze, not a pungent smell and the smell is likely from a factory’s chimney.
Dr Erik Velasco, a climate and meteorological research scientist at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology, also gave his opinion to CNA. He thinks the smell came from the release of chemical product or substance from a major industrial building.
So……
For now, I guess it is because of the change of wind.
Singaporeans confirm won’t be happy with this.
It’s like we want some sort of concrete explanation to explain our experience.
Maybe it is some sort of Monday blues hallucination.
