随着东南亚大片地区数周来一直在应对印度尼西亚肆虐的野火所带来的烟霾，周三，新加坡的部分空气质量指标恶化至该国政府的最高级别。
A Singapore gauge of air quality worsened to the government’s highest category in parts of the city-state on Wednesday, as swathes of Southeast Asia grapple with weeks of haze from wildfires raging in Indonesia.
国家环境局的数据显示，该岛西部的细颗粒物平均浓度1小时读数达到284。251及以上的水平被视为“非常高”，是其四级系统中的最高级别。该城市国家其他四个地区的读数处于“升高”和“高”级别。
The 1-hour reading of the average concentration of fine particulate matter reached 284 in the west of the island, National Environment Agency data show. Levels of 251 and above are considered “very high,” the highest in its four-category system. Readings in the other four region of the city-state were in the “elevated” and “high” categories.
大部分雾霾源于从邻国印度尼西亚飘来的烟雾，印尼正经历着数年来最严重的野火季。在强劲的厄尔尼诺现象加剧下，持续的干旱为清理土地的野火失控燃烧并释放有毒烟雾创造了条件，引发了整个地区的健康和外交担忧。空中灭火工作近期一直受到能见度差的阻碍。
Much of the smog stems from smoke drifting from neighboring Indonesia, which is suffering through its worst wildfire season in years. Prolonged dryness, exacerbated by a powerful El Niño, has created conditions for land-clearing fires to burn out of control and emit noxious fumes, fueling health and diplomatic concerns across the region. Aerial firefighting efforts have recently been hampered by poor visibility.
