Eco-activist Joe Chan Chon Meng, who heads the Macau Green Students Union, said yesterday the city’s poor air quality these days was a warning for residents and the government that a lot of pollutants originate from Macau.
The Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) announced on Saturday that the air quality index recorded by monitoring stations in Taipa and Coloane was “very bad”.On Wednesday, the bureau also said it expected the air quality that night and yesterday to be “bad”, appealing to those who suffer from respiratory or cardiovascular diseases to avoid participating in outdoor activities.
