{{label}}Research done in different parts of the world has shown a link between the quality of our air and our health.
Most people would typically be unaffected by the haze, other than experiencing sneezing, dry throat or eye irritation. However, people with medical problems such as lung or skin conditions are likely to be more affected.
"People with medical problems such as lung or skin conditions are likely to be more affected." |
Two criterias are typically used to measure the severity of a haze: the Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) and the Particular Matter index (PM 2.5). The higher the index, the more unhealthy the air we breathe.
The impact of haze also depends on how long we breathe the polluted air and our level of activity. The Ministry of Health in Singapore published a summary to help people understand when to take precautions
