Air pollution in Hong Kong persisted on Wednesday, with the Environmental Protection Department recording the highest level of "serious" health risk at monitoring stations on Tuesday. According to data from aqicn.org, the Air Quality Index in Causeway Bay reached 154 in the morning, a level of "unhealthy", while most other areas were "unhealthy for sensitive groups". The Observatory expects a fresh easterly airstream to reach the coast of Guangdong on Wednesday, helping to disperse the haze.
