Haze is back! Especially in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Johor, Pahang and Sarawak. These places have recorded an Air Pollutant Index of 101 to 200, which reached an unhealthy range. Do you know what is the impact of haze on health? It may cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat in addition to dizziness, stress and headaches in healthy individuals.
What you inhale will indirectly affect your health, especially if you’re suffering from respiratory issues such as asthma. Hence, investing in a proper respiratory mask is essential to protect yourself from inhaling harmful airborne particles found in polluted air. An additional advice, do invest in N95 mask instead of surgical mask as the N95 mask design is very close to facial fit and more efficient in filtration of airborne particles.
