Malaysia declares emergency in Sarawak town as haze pollution level hits 521 | 马来西亚砂拉越一城镇雾霾污染指数飙升至521，宣布进入紧急状态
马来西亚周五在婆罗洲岛沙捞越州的塞利安镇宣布进入紧急状态，原因是受邻国印尼火灾影响，空气污染指数突破了紧急标准。 据马来西亚环境部门数据，这个靠近印尼加里曼丹省边境、人口不足9万的农业小镇，空气污染指数当天飙升至521；沙捞越州首府古晋也录得311的危险水平。
此次污染被认为与印尼境内火灾持续蔓延有关，烟霾跨境扩散，已经对马来西亚东部地区造成明显影响。当地进入紧急状态，反映出空气质量恶化已达到需要采取特别应对措施的程度。
