《商业时报》报道称，新加坡已确认七家涉嫌参与印尼野火的公司，这些野火正导致该城邦被浓雾笼罩，新加坡计划向这些公司发出通知，要求其采取预防措施。
Singapore has identified seven companies it says were involved in wildfires in Indonesia that are choking the city-state with haze, and plans to issue notices requiring them to take preventive measures, the Business Times reported.
该报援引可持续发展及环境部长傅海燕（Grace Fu）在周五新闻发布会上的表态称，这些公司将根据《跨境雾霾污染法》收到通知，要求其停止或避免焚烧，并提交防止复发的计划。傅海燕未说明这些公司是新加坡还是印尼的公司，政府将在稍后公布名单。
The companies will receive notices under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act requiring them to stop or refrain from burning and submit plans to prevent a recurrence, the newspaper reported, citing Sustainability and the Environment Minister Grace Fu at a Friday press conference. Fu did not specify if they were Singapore or Indonesia companies, and the government will make the list public on a later date.
新加坡和马来西亚数周来一直被印尼严重野火季节产生的有毒烟雾笼罩，而这一情况因强烈的厄尔尼诺天气模式而加剧，导致该地区出现干燥天气。新加坡总理黄循财周四誓言将调查导致火灾的企业责任方，并警告被认定有责任的公司可能面临法律行动。
Singapore and Malaysia have been blanketed for weeks by toxic smog from a severe wildfire season in Indonesia that’s been exacerbated by a powerful El Niño weather pattern, bringing dry weather to the region. Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong vowed Thursday to investigate firms responsible for fires and warned those found culpable could face legal action.
印尼长期以来在旱季使用刀耕火种方式清理农田引发的火灾屡见不鲜，而今年尤其旱季异常强烈，伴随着一场可能打破纪录的强烈厄尔尼诺天气模式，使情况进一步恶化。
Blazes stemming from the use of slash-and-burn techniques to clear farmland have long been a feature of Indonesia’s dry months, and the situation has been exacerbated by a particularly intense dry season this year, with a blockbuster El Niño weather pattern threatening to break records.
《商业时报》报道称，这些公司是通过分析卫星图像和与火灾相关的热点及烟羽的气象数据而被确认的。
The companies were identified by analyzing satellite imagery and meteorological data on hotspots and smoke plumes from the fires, according to the Business Times report.
新加坡于2014年通过《跨境雾霾法》，允许对污染行为每日处以最高10万新元（约7.8万美元）的罚款。该国曾试图在2015年执行该法律，但当时环境部承认，从印尼方面获取涉嫌非法焚烧的企业信息存在困难。十年过去，目前仍有四家公司正接受调查。
Singapore enacted the transboundary haze law in 2014, allowing it to fine companies as much as S$100,000 ($78,000) per day of pollution. The city-state tried to enforce it in 2015, but the environment ministry conceded at the time it was having difficulty getting information from its Indonesian counterpart on firms suspected of illegal burning. A decade on, four companies continue to be under investigation.
该法律针对导致或纵容火灾的人，当由此产生的雾霾使污染物标准指数在至少24小时内保持在不健康水平时。
The law targets those responsible for causing or condoning fires when resulting smog keeps the Pollutant Standards Index at unhealthy levels for at least 24 hours.
截至当地时间周五下午5时，全岛24小时PSI指数在160至227之间。当指数达到201及以上时，空气质量被视为“非常不健康”。当指数高于300时，被视为“有害”，可能导致学校停课。
The 24-hour PSI ranged from 160 to 227 across the island as of 5pm local time on Friday. Air quality is considered “very unhealthy” when levels are 201 and above. A reading higher than 300 is considered “hazardous” and can trigger school closures.
