Anti-Haze

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

  1. Drink more room-temperature water
    Avoid pouring cold water down your throat as it may induce cough in this harsh weather.
  2. Eat more fruits
    To strengthen immunity, especially our lungs.
  3. Stay in door
    Hide from the harsh and dry elements. Exercise at home or in the gym instead.
  4. On the air conditioner
    Filter off the pollutants.
  5. Clean aircon filter
    As the filter would be working doubly hard these few days.
  6. Put indoor plants
    For natural fresh supply of oxygen in your room.
  7. Leave a wet towel in your room
    Let the wet towel absorb the burnt particles in the air.
  8. 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.
  9. 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!
