新加坡将“保持选择开放”,对违规公司采取法律行动,因为城邦空气质量恶化至非常不健康水平。

Singapore will “keep its options open” on taking legal action against errant companies as air quality in the city-state deteriorates to very unhealthy levels.

新加坡正在收集雾霾数据,以权衡根据其《跨境雾霾污染法》采取可能的行动,据《海峡时报》周三报道,引用可持续发展及环境部长傅海燕的话。该法律于2014年制定,针对那些导致或纵容火灾的责任方,如果由此导致的雾霾使污染物标准指数(衡量空气质量的指标)在不健康范围内持续24小时或以上。

Singapore is collecting data on the haze as it weighs possible action under its Transboundary Haze Pollution Act, the Straits Times reported Wednesday, citing Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu. The law, enacted in 2014, targets those responsible for causing or condoning fires if the resulting haze causes the Pollutant Standards Index, a measure of air quality, to remain in the unhealthy range for 24 hours or more.

截至当地时间上午6时,该指数在全岛范围内介于125至206之间,西部地区记录最高读数。当24小时PSI水平达到201及以上时,空气质量被视为“非常不健康”;读数超过300则被视为“危险”,将触发学校停课。

The gauge ranged between 125 and 206 across the island as of 6 a.m. local time, with the western region recording the highest reading. Air quality is considered “very unhealthy” when 24-hour PSI levels are 201 and above. A reading above 300 is considered “hazardous” and would trigger school closures.

数周来,多个东南亚国家一直被印度尼西亚森林火灾产生的有毒雾霾笼罩。各国政府面临压力,需要加强并协调应对措施,以应对这一形势正在发展成为十多年来最严重的此类事件。

Several Southeast Asian countries have been blanketed for weeks by toxic haze from forest fires in Indonesia. Governments are under pressure to step up and coordinate a response to what’s shaping up to be the worst such episode in more than a decade.

新加坡仍准备向印度尼西亚提供帮助,截至目前,邻国尚未有任何更新,傅海燕如是说道。

Singapore remains ready to offer help to Indonesia and there has not been any update from the neighboring country so far, Fu was quoted as saying.

根据该法被判有罪者将面临最高每日10万新元(约7.7855万美元)的罚款,总额上限为200万新元。

Those found guilty under the Act face fines of up to S$100,000 ($77,855) a day, capped at S$2 million in total.
