Poor Air Quality Impacts the Body, It's Important to Protect Yourself by Wearing Masks

Dream - It cannot be denied that the poor air quality in Jakarta and several other cities has become a major topic of discussion in recent weeks. This has become a serious concern considering the impact of pollution and poor air quality on health.

Data from the IQAir air quality monitoring website, which can be accessed directly, shows that at the end of August 2023, Jakarta recorded a concentration of particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) pollutants at 92.8 micrograms per cubic meter.

The concentration numbers of pollutants clearly indicate that the air quality in Jakarta falls into the unhealthy category for sensitive groups. Considering that good air concentration should ideally be within the range of 1 to 12 micrograms per cubic meter.

"Inhaling unhealthy or polluted air will cause various negative impacts on health, not only the lungs but also other organs such as the heart and brain."

"stated by Dr. Januar Habibi, B.Med.Sc, Sp.P at the Media Gathering event for Ms Glow on the Importance of Masks When Air Quality Deteriorates, Friday, September 1, 2023."

"Danger of Micro Pollutants"

The most dangerous component of pollution is the pollutant PM 2.5. These particles have a size of about 2.5 micrometers. They can enter the lungs and cause health problems. In highly polluted air conditions, we need additional protection.

"Naturally, our nose hair functions as an air filter for the air we breathe in, but in highly polluted air conditions, a mask is needed as an additional filter to prevent pollutants (especially those with very small particle sizes) from entering the respiratory system.""

"spoken by Dr. Januar."

"Don't Forget to Use a Mask"

One of the masks that can be used daily is Kosmemask from MS Glow. This mask is claimed to have a stopper, hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial with 4 extra protection layers. Level Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) 99%, and Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE) 95%.

"Nano silver's ability to destroy infectious microorganisms makes it one of the most powerful antimicrobial agents. Cosme masks fulfill biomedical purposes, which are effective in fighting infections," said J99 Corp's Commercial Director, Amelia Nasution on the same occasion.

In situations like this, always monitor air quality. There are several ways that can be done, starting from monitoring air quality through applications or websites. If you want to engage in outdoor activities, choose a park with many trees to reduce the risk of exposure to pollution. "Trees can filter the air and release cleaner air. Especially when exercising, where you inhale more breaths, it is recommended to do it in places with many trees," said Dr. Januar.
