Lung Health Awareness | Protect Your Lungs During Hazy Conditions

Haze is caused by fine particles and pollutants in the air, often from open burning, forest fires and other pollution. Haze conditions can affect the air we breathe and may irritate the eyes, nose and airways. People with respiratory conditions, children and older adults may be more sensitive to poor air quality.

Simple steps to help protect your lungs include:
• Check the local air quality before planning outdoor activities
• Reduce prolonged outdoor activities when air quality is unhealthy
• Keep doors and windows closed when appropriate to reduce outdoor pollutants entering the home
• Follow advice from relevant health and environmental authorities
• Seek medical attention if you experience persistent or worsening breathing difficulties

If you have an existing respiratory condition, ensure you follow your healthcare professional’s advice and continue taking your prescribed medication.

At the Lung Foundation of Malaysia (LFM), we encourage everyone to take care of their lung health and stay informed during periods of haze.

Protect your lungs. Stay informed. Every Breath Matters.
