Singapore haze drives mask-wearing as air quality worsens
Original: mask
Singapore's air quality has hit its worst levels of 2026, with the Pollutant Standards Index reaching a high in the central region as transboundary haze blankets the island. Food delivery riders and migrant construction workers are wearing masks on the job, while employers adjust work arrangements to protect staff health. The haze has also forced school closures in Malaysia, and Singapore is preparing for the Formula 1 Grand Prix under smoggy conditions.
Why now: The transboundary haze has pushed Singapore's air pollution to the worst in the world, affecting daily life, work and major events like the Grand Prix.
