The reading of the fine particles started to rise at 9am and reached a peak of 28 micrograms per cubic meter at 3pm.
At 5pm, the reading was 16.8 micrograms per cubic meter and its density in the latest 24 hours was 14.1 micrograms per cubic meter, far lower than the national limit of 75 micrograms per cubic meter.
