HEALTH is not valued till sickness comes

Assalamualaikum.
Hi, everyone. Good morning!

How is it going? I hope that everyone is just doing fine, even though the weather is not in a good condition. When you are outside, perhaps you will tell yourself in the inside that you might have blurry vision 😄, whenever you see the fog or mist that limit your vision in a certain distance. Yes, nothing bad happen to your eyes, it is all about the haze.

What is haze?

Haze is traditionally an atmospheric phenomenon in which dust, smoke and other particles accumulate in the air. More than that, it is also contains air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, carbon monixide and particulate matter.

How do we know the level of air quality in our area? How it is monitored?

In order to indicate the amount of pollutants in the air, an air quality index is commonly used over a specified period of time. In Malaysia, it it reported as IPU in Malay (Indeks Pencemaran Udara) while in English as API (Air Pollution Index), it varies according to each country. For instance, in Canada and Hong Kong it is called Air Quality Health Index (AQHI).

The level of air quality grouped with specific range based on the picture below.
