NEA: Hail not related to cloud seeding; rain
is not toxic
The National Environment Agency
(NEA) has confirmed that the hail that some
residnets, particularly those living in the western
parts of Singapore experienced, is not caused by the cloud seeding
in Indonesia.
It said in a
briefing on Tuesday evening, that clouds do not travel that far and
the clouds would be going in the wrong direction if it was related
as the wind is currently blowing the haze away from
Singapore.
Asked if the
hail was related to the haze, NEA would only say that it was a
possibility but could not give a confirmation. It added that the
heavy downpour on Tuesday afternoon was not
toxic.
Wednesday's
forecast was still likely to be "unhealthy" even though the current
PSI reading is in the "moderate" range. This is because the PM2.5
reading is in the "unhealthy" range. Emergency department
attendance and polyclinic attendance for haze-related conditions
have gone up 0.9 per cent and 16.5 per cent respectively, it
said.
Dun listen to NEA too much. Being a govt agency, do you thing
they will report bad things and scare the hell out of the public,
knn even PSI at 500 they may also report 300 to calm the
public mah, and for days there was no rain, sky full of acidly
haze, even your taxi also can get full of dust, rain not toxic??
not acidic?? think twice hor, you know why some taxi driver go
botak faster??
