A guide to beat the air pollution

BREATHE EASY:

Avoid a walk, jog, or any other outside exercise until the haze clears on winter mornings. Shifting these activities to evening hours would be better.

Keep up to date on local air quality information and forecasts. Plan your outdoor activities accordingly.

In highly polluted areas or during bad air quality days, consider wearing a mask designed to filter out particles.

Keep windows and doors closed on days with poor air quality to prevent external toxins from entering your home.

Purchasing a high-quality air purifier for your house might help cut down on indoor air pollution.

Make sure your home has adequate ventilation. Use exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom. Additionally, avoid smoking indoors.

Drinking plenty of water can help your body flush out toxins and keep you hydrated.

Taking steam can soothe your respiratory passages, potentially providing temporary relief from irritation caused by air pollution.

Toxins can be removed from indoor air by some houseplants such as snake plants, spider plants, and peace lilies.

Reduce indoor sources of pollution like chemical cleaners and burning candles.
