To protect people's health from the impact of air pollution, the Department of Disease Prevention (Ministry of Health) recommends that people regularly monitor the Air Quality Index (AQI) and apply appropriate preventive measures.
People need to wear standard masks when going out, keep their homes airy, limit smoke and dust sources in daily life, plant trees, avoid cigarette smoke and monitor their health periodically. sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, pregnant women, people with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases need to limit going out when the air is polluted, avoid areas with a lot of dust and see a doctor immediately when unusual symptoms appear.
When AQI is at a bad to dangerous level, people should minimize outdoor activities, close their doors, prioritize indoor activities and go to medical facilities if there are signs of difficulty breathing, cough, or fever.
