Hence, there are some issues to get mask as it can go out of stock and feeling uncomfortable while wearing it.

Health related issues that derive from haze are inevitable and can be hazardous. The most susceptible groups are elderly people and children. When the Air Pollution Index (API) goes beyond 300 and patients with underlying diseases like asthma and heart attack, it can be fatal in some cases. Other common problems are eye, nasal and throat irritations. In severe cases lung tissue inflammation and scarring.

Reducing outdoor activities and physical exertion may help to reduce the impact of haze to our health. But, we can’t solve or avoid it. It has deep and long term health effects in our body that may have been accumulated during the period of haze.

Here, I would like to propose the best methods to avoid haze related issue to our health and scientifically proven.
