Department of Environment (DOE) air quality division director Kalsom Abdul Ghani also advised parents to monitor their children’s outdoor activities.
Those suffering from respiratory problems should refrain from going out unless absolutely necessary, she added.
Kalsom said although there was a slight improvement in air quality in the Klang Valley yesterday morning after a brief downpour, the situation relapsed in the afternoon.
She said this was caused by winds blowing in from Sumatra where many hotspots (peat fires) were recorded.
"The air quality in parts of Klang Valley, including Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya is bordering on unhealthy.
“Other areas including Seremban, Nilai and Bukit Rambai are also badly affected."
