Singaporeans can be assured that the air and water quality are not affected by the chemical spill in Pasir Gudang, Johor. Citizens of Pasir Gudang were plagued by a toxic waste spill which caused more than 500 people to be sick.
People there are experiencing nausea, vomiting, breathlessness and have been admitted to hospitals. The severe pollution has caused a few to be in critical condition.
Following the incident, Singaporean authorities have checked and announced that we remain in the good to low-moderate air quality range. They also assured that the water quality will not be affected.
