GEORGE TOWN, Jan 18 — Barely a week after physical classes resumed this year, schools near the Pulau Burung landfill in mainland Penang have been ordered to close and switch to home-based teaching and learning for the rest of this week due to noxious fumes from a fire last week.
Education chief officer for Seberang Perai Selatan district, Mohamad Dziauddin Mat Saad said the air index for schools within a 10km radius of the landfill is now at Level Three under the Acute Exposure Guidelines, which could cause severe effects to the health and lives of residents.
