SINGAPORE: The burning smell that you might have sensed early on Sunday (Jun 3) was due to an "accumulation of particulate matter under light wind conditions".
Replying to Channel NewsAsia's queries, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said the slight hazy conditions had improved by the late morning.
AdvertisementResidents in Thomson, Toa Payoh and Bishan had reported the burning smell on Sunday, with some taking to social media and wondering if the haze was back.
Walking home after midnight, I thought it was misty, then I inhaled the unfortunately familiar burning smell of the midyear haze. #Singapore

NEA said its officers were deployed at Toa Payoh Lorong 1 and Lorong 6, where the burning smell was reported, to assess the air quality and to take air samples for laboratory analysis.
"The levels of air pollutants measured were found to be within the normal range," NEA said adding that no hotspots were detected in the nearby region.
NEA said it will continue to monitor the air quality levels.
