Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Students wearing face masks wait in their bus before leaving school in haze-hit Kuala Lumpur June 25, 2013. Air quality in Singapore improved significantly to "moderate" pollution levels on Saturday, as Indonesian planes waterbombed raging forest fires and investigators scrambled to determine the cause of one of Southeast Asia's worst air pollution crises. In Malaysia, the haze spread north. Air quality in Kuala Lumpur, the capital, and in several surrounding areas worsened into the "unhealthy" zone. The air quality was now "unhealthy" in 17 areas of Malaysia and "very unhealthy" in one area. REUTERS/Bazuki Muhammad (MALAYSIA - Tags: ENVIRONMENT HEALTH SOCIETY EDUCATION)
