[Post 1679] How Harmful Is The Haze And How Can We Protect Ourselves? | Talking Point


Summary

The haze is back, and this time, it is worse than Singapore has seen in over a decade. As air pollution reaches unhealthy levels for days on end, just how much damage is it doing to our health?

In this episode, Talking Point host Diana Ser investigates the dangers of breathing in polluted air. She finds out how exercising outdoors affects our exposure to harmful particles, and tests whether staying indoors, using air-conditioning or running an air purifier can really keep us safe.

We also put different masks to the test, including N95 masks that expired years ago. Do they still offer protection? And when can Singapore finally expect the haze to clear?
