The air quality in the green zone is being categorised as moderate, meaning the API readings are 100 and less.

Kanowit, however, is still having very unhealthy air quality.

The Air Pollutant Index (API) reading in Kanowit was at 216 level.

The monitoring stations show that seven locations were under the yellow or unhealthy category.

They include Serian (171), Lubok Antu (167). Samarahan (159) Kuching (157), Simanggang (153), Belaga (139) and Tebedu (129).
