Singapore Grand Prix organizers stock up on anti-smog masks by geddiejdk F1 SingaporeGP F1nightrace
SINGAPORE - Singapore Grand Prix organizers are stocking up on disposable face masks to potentially sell to spectators as the worst air pollution in three years threatens to taint the city-state’s marquee sports event.
Organizers will be keeping close tabs on air pollution readings as the $100 million street race kicks off on Friday, just days after Singapore authorities warned haze levels could worsen and advised people to reduce outdoor activity. Singapore Grand Prix said disposable masks, which cover the nose and mouth to protect the wearer from breaking in small particles in the air, will be available for sale at merchandise booths if the pollution hits certain predetermined levels. They will also be made available to vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children and pregnant women at first aid booths.
Air pollution readings and health advisor will be available on the official website and mobile app, and also broadcast on screens and radio during the three-day event, which has brought in more than S$1 billion in tourism receipts over its history.
