It is life-threatening, especially to young and older people and those with weak hearts and lungs.īesides limiting the outdoor activities and switching on air purifiers at home, my BFF and I urgently needed fabric face masks for our kids to wear. And all these irritate the eye and respiratory system. The haze is dusty, smokey, and obscuring the clarity of the sky. At times, the API (Air Pollution Index) can go up to 400 (hazardous) in a certain area. The particles in the haze won’t go anywhere else unless the rain washes them down. They get trapped in the air, settled in as a haze. The hazardous smoke and burning particles were being transported by the wind, which was blowing toward us. They are doing this to clear out their land while producing fertilizers for the next cycle (hmmm, not the right way to recycle, huh~). Our neighboring country started to mass-burn their plantation wastes during this dry weather period. Every year from May till August, we will be attacked by terrible haze. Contemplating the ever-rising pollution level on our Earth, the respiratory face mask will soon become an essential item in our life.
