SINGAPORE: The National Environment Agency (NEA)
is setting up a gas monitoring system in Yishun to
monitor the air quality. The system, which measures
the presence of volatile organic compounds, will be
ready by the end of February 2011. The NEA's move
follows complaints by residents in Yishun and Canberra
of a smell in their neighbourhood between 2.30pm to
5pm on January 30. NEA said it investigated the
smell but found no toxic gases present. It said the
source of the smell was likely to be from outside
Singapore. NEA said it had alerted its Malaysian counterparts.
