Regional Haze Raises Public-Health and Environmental Monitoring Concerns

During the week of 19–26 October, Singapore continued its investigation into businesses potentially linked to the regional haze affecting air quality.

Healthcare providers and public-health organisations can explore opportunities in environmental-health data, operational monitoring and digital reporting.
