00:01Thick smog from wildfires raging across Indonesia
00:05blanketed Singapore's skyline on Sunday,
00:08marking two weeks of unhealthy air quality levels in the city-state,
00:13as authorities moved to hold companies responsible for the transboundary pollution.
00:18Trees, buildings and construction cranes were shrouded in dense grey smog,
00:24with cars navigating roads through the murk
00:26and the sun barely visible through a thick layer of haze.
00:30Swiss air quality monitoring firm IQ Air measured conditions at an air quality index of 202,
00:38rated very unhealthy, between 8am and 9am,
00:42before easing to 163, still in the unhealthy range, by noon.
00:48The episode marked the 14th consecutive day since October 5th
00:53where Singapore's air quality has remained at unhealthy levels,
00:57the longest unbroken stretch since 2015.
01:01The haze has caused a spike in respiratory illnesses at home
01:05and a dramatic decline in air quality across the region.
