Protect Yourself From The Haze

Tips to Protect Yourself From The Haze
Stay indoors as much as possible. Children, older adults (aged 65 and above) and people with heart and lung diseases are advised to remain indoors and keep activity levels low.

Keep all doors and windows closed and use the air-conditioner.

Use an air purifier to remove pollutants.

Don't smoke or allow anyone else to smoke at home.

Drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins that may have entered your system

Wet mop or use a vacuum cleaner in your house and indoor areas, instead of using a broom.

Wear a mask to cover your nose and mouth when you need to go out, especially when the PSI level is in the "unhealthy" range. Look for certified grade N95 masks that are able to keep out fine haze particles in the air.

If you drive, roll up the windows and turn on the air-con.


- Breathing in an excess of the air pollutants can increase one's risk of developing respiratory problems, including bacterial and viral infections, as well as exacerbate existing conditions such as heart and lung diseases, asthma and eczema.


The PSI readings mean:

PSI value	Air quality
0 to 50	Good
51 to 100	Moderate
101 to 200	Unhealthy Reduce vigorous outdoor activity
201 to 300	Very unhealthy Avoid vigorous outdoor activity.
301 and above	Hazardous Avoid unnecessary outdoor activity.
