Air pollution levels in Singapore have reached their highest level this year as smoke from Indonesian forest fires create a haze at the Marina Bay Circuit.
The Pollutant Standards Index, Singapore's main measure of air pollution, rose to 222 in the early hours of Monday, above the official "very unhealthy" bandwidth of 200, according to the National Environment Agency
Persistent haze over the weekend caused the cancellation of several outdoor events, and the organisers of the Singapore Grand Prix are keeping a close eye on the situation.
"In the event that the haze caused visibility, public health or operational issues, Singapore GP would work closely with the relevant agencies before making any collective decisions regarding the event," race organisers said in a statement.
