Moderate haze in Sabah

KOTA KINABALU: The haze in several places in Sabah was reported to be at the moderate level today.

 

 The Air Pollutant Index (API) for major towns  are Kota Kinabalu  (74), Keningau (66) and Sandakan (42) as of 11am, according to the statistics at the website of the Department of Environment (DOE).
 
  The API reading is "good" when it is between 0 and 50, "moderate" (51 to 100), "unhealthy" (101 to 200), "very unhealthy" (201 to 300), and "hazardous" (above 300).
 
  Meanwhile, a state DOE spokesman said public could still engage in outdoor activities for now. 
 
 The condition of the haze is expected to continue for another two to three weeks.   
 
 "The major cause of the haze is from Indonesia open burning as their farmers get rid of their agriculture waste.
 
  "We cannot exclude that our own local farmers, especially those from interior areas are also doing the same thing in small scale as it is the dry season," he said.
