GEORGE TOWN: The 68-storey Komtar building was hardly visible, and all of Penang island was just a blur from the mainland, but Air Pollutant Index (API) readings were still at “moderate” levels at four stations in the state.
The Department of Environment’s (DOE) website showed that the reading at Seberang Jaya station increased slightly from 75 at 6am to 79 at 3pm. However, the API reading at Prai station was a little worse, rising from 80 at 6am to 86 in the afternoon.
