Health DG: Take preventive measures to reduce effects of haze on health

: The Ministry of Health advised the public in areas with unhealthy Air Pollutant Index readings to take preventive measures to reduce the impact on their health.

“Physical activities will increase the breathing rate causing more suspended particles to enter the respiratory tract and this situation can increase the risk of diseases due to haze,“ he said in a statement today. Dr Muhammad Radzi said other preventive measures include closing windows to reduce the haze from entering homes or buildings as well as avoiding activities such as smoking that can increase air pollution in the house or buildings.
