Ministry warns of ‘mild’ air pollution due to wildfires
The Ministry of Environment warns of mild air pollution across parts of Cambodia due to regional wildfires, affecting air quality especially in the dry season.
The Ministry of Environment has issued an alert about mild air pollution levels in several areas of Cambodia, attributed to smoke from regional wildfires carried by seasonal winds. Officials note that while the situation is currently classified as mild, prolonged exposure could pose health risks to vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and people with respiratory conditions. The ministry is monitoring air quality indices closely and advising the public to limit prolonged outdoor activities and to avoid burning waste to reduce additional local pollution.
