What is AQI / PSI ?
  • AQI translates pollution measurements into a health-related index. This site estimates a PM2.5-only US AQI from NEA readings using the US EPA NowCast method and current breakpoints.
  • Singapore’s PSI tracks six pollutants, including PM2.5. The 24-hour PSI shown here is supplied by NEA.

US AQI guidance
  • Matching categories are not equivalent readings: AQI and PSI use different methods and time windows.
  • Sensitive Groups applies only to AQI.
  • For activity advice, use NEA’s PM2.5 guide below.

US EPA Method (May 2026 guidance)

  • Up to 12 hourly readings, with more weight on recent hours when levels change; at least two of the latest three are required.
  • This PM2.5-only estimate is not an official Singapore AQI.

NEA PSI Advisory

What is PM 2.5 ?

PM2.5 means fine inhalable particles generally 2.5 micrometres or smaller. It is the dominant pollutant during transboundary haze in Singapore.

The middle reading is NEA’s 1-hour PM2.5 concentration in µg/m³. It is a concentration, not an AQI or PSI score.
