Poor air quality is expected in some parts of western Taiwan until next Thursday (Feb 27) due to a lack of wind to disperse or carry atmospheric pollutants.
The announcement was made by Taiwan's Environmental Protection Administration (EPA). The lack of wind is the result of weakening of cold air mass according to EPA, CNA reported.
