The ASEAN Specialized Meteorological Centre, based in Singapore, revealed on Saturday a ranking of the most polluted cities in the world, amid ongoing fires in Indonesia and their environmental effects on wide areas of Southeast Asia.
The Centre stated that the continuous fires in Indonesia have caused the spread of toxic haze in parts of Southeast Asia, prompting the regional body responsible for monitoring climate and fires to declare the highest level of alert in the region.
The fires raise concerns about deteriorating air quality and the implications of haze on the environment and public health, particularly in areas affected by smoke spread.
The information provided did not include additional details about the cities that topped the pollution list or the recorded pollution levels.
