Even on the bluest sky day, there is usually a layer of haze over Singapore's southern industrial areas. Does this ever-present level of pollution exacerbate smoke haze from Indonesian fires? A layer of haze over Jurong Island seen from Sentosa. Is that why haze levels climb to dangerous levels at night? As the build up of every day 'haze' from traffic and industries in Singapore, adds to the smoke from Indonesia? During our many travels to the Southern Islands, we often see build up of emissions over installations like those at Pulau Bukom. Emissions from Pulau Bukom from a submerged reefwhich had dugong feeding trails in its seagrass meadows. I often notice lots of emissions especially well before dawn. Sometimes, massive flaring can happen on Pulau Bukom which can have nasty environmental impacts. During one such period, NEA said the flare at Pulau Bukom has 'not impacted the air quality on the main island of Singapore so far, and there is no cause for concern'. Andy Dinesh shared this video clip of THE SOUND of flaring (like jet engines!) There is also often 'clouds' of emissions hanging over Jurong Island. Emissions seem more obvious at night A haze is often also seen over Jurong Island even on a clear blue sky day. Sometimes massive flaring also seen at Jurong Island. Besides causing air pollution, such emissions also pollute the water, like an oil slick from the sky. Can it get worse?How will Singapore's Eastern air quality be affected by future plans to relocate to Pengerang, Johor a petrochemical complex that was rejected in Taiwan for environmental and health reasons?

For the first time ever, the world is producing more farmed fish than farmed beef—an act that has also proven damaging to the environment.

Rating: Lightweight, super fast, run a bit large Upgraded to these for a recent trip. Very lightweight…good for packing when airlines charge 175$ now for overweight! These are very comfortable and efficient fins, but they run large. I am an 10.5 mens (wide) and with 5mm booties or solid reef shoes the MED was perfect.
