00:00The situation regarding tobacco burial in Malaysia has become increasingly serious recently.
00:03But have you noticed that the smoke is seriously buried outside?
00:05But opening a Google search for air pollution index
00:08The numbers we saw were not as high as we had imagined.
00:10Even the indexes you and your friend found are different.
00:13This doesn't necessarily mean the air quality isn't that bad.
00:16Rather, the index you found might not be the one used in Malaysia.
00:19Because different countries use different air pollution index standards.
00:22The index displayed in Google search results may not necessarily reflect Malaysia's situation.
00:26Official data
00:26So what exactly is the difference between AQI, API, and PSI?
00:31In Malaysia, which landfill index should be used for occupancy assessment?
00:34Choose an agent and understand it all at once
00:35The AQI Air Quality Index is primarily used in the United States and is also commonly found in international air quality indices.
00:40Quality monitoring platform
00:41It is calculated according to standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
00:43The index is calculated based on the concentration of different pollutants in the air.
00:46Finally, the highest pollutant index was used as the overall AQI.
00:50Next is the API Air Pollutant Index used in Malaysia.
00:54Released by the Malaysian Department of Environment
00:56It calculates an index based on the concentration of various air pollutants.
00:59Some pollutants were measured using the average concentration over the past 24 hours.
01:03When the burial suddenly intensifies
01:04The API index may not rise significantly immediately.
01:07I want to check the latest official API in Malaysia.
01:10You can check the APIMS website of the Malaysian Department of Environment.
01:14Finally, there's the PSI Pollutant Standards Index used in Singapore.
01:18Released by Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA)
01:22It calculates 24-hour data based on data from six major air pollutants.
01:26PSI
01:27It also provides hourly PM2.5 concentration data.
01:30To enable the public to understand air pollution conditions in a more timely manner.
01:33So if you live in Malaysia
01:35It is recommended to refer to the API published by the Malaysian Department of Environment.
01:39If you want to know more about the latest changes in air pollution
01:41You can also pay attention to PM2.5 concentration.
01:44It is a fine-amplitude particulate matter with a diameter of no more than 2.5 micrometers.
01:47Extremely small in size
01:48It can penetrate deep into the human respiratory system.
01:50It is also one of the pollutants that need to be monitored during the burial process.
01:53So the next time you query the burial index
01:56Remember to use official data.
01:57We should also pay attention to changes in PM2.5.
