Singapore skies thick with haze
With PSI at new high of 321 due to the fires from neighbouring countries, I am concerned over the health and well-being of Singapore. Besides praying for rain to cool and cleanse the air, I am prompted to share these:
9 Protective Measures Against Haze
- Drink more room-temperature water
Avoid pouring cold water down your throat as it may induce cough in this harsh weather. - Eat more fruits
To strengthen immunity, especially our lungs. - Stay in door
Hide from the harsh and dry elements. Exercise at home or in the gym instead. - On the air conditioner
Filter off the pollutants. - Clean aircon filter
As the filter would be working doubly hard these few days. - Put indoor plants
For natural fresh supply of oxygen in your room. - Leave a wet towel in your room
Let the wet towel absorb the burnt particles in the air. - Invest in an air-purifying device
Thanks to the wonders of technology, we could clean the air we are breathing at the press of a button. Do get those with filter papers that will trap the dusty air particles. - Wear mask when outdoor
Do prepare eye drops in case the dryness stink your eyes.
Why let the haze dull us up?! Now is the best time to shop for a comical mask. Or decorate our medical mask to cheer everyone up!
