PUTRAJAYA, Oct 3 — Cloud seeding will be carried out in areas where the Air Pollutant Index reading hovers above 150 in the unhealthy air quality range for over 24 hours, Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad announced today.
“We cannot carry out this operation in any condition. Cloud seeding can only be conducted under specific circumstances, and the ministry will continue to monitor the situation,” he told a press conference after officiating at the ceremony to accord recognition to Wetland Studios Putrajaya as a Resource Centre for Environmental Conservation.
Asked whether forest burning in the country had contributed to the haze, Nik Nazmi said there had been no such incident of late except in May, which he said caused localised haze. He said the ministry would also continue to communicate with countries in the region, including Indonesia, on environmental management.
