Haze: Air quality in Johor the worst in years, haze-related health complaints increase
By FLORENCE A.SAMY and CHRISTINA TAN

PETALING JAYA: Air quality deteriorated rapidly overnight with Muar in Johor hitting hazardous levels for the first time with an Air Pollutant Index (API) reading of above 380, according to the Department of Environment (DOE).
This is the first time in years that air quality has dipped to hazardous level with conditions worsening in as dry weather persists and fires rage in Sumatra.

At 7am, the API was at 337 but it deteriorated to 383 just several hours later at 11am Thursday. A good API reading is from 0-50, moderate (51-100), unhealthy (101-200), very unhealthy (201-299) and hazardous (300 and above).

The air quality also worsened in Kota Tinggi which now records very unhealthy levels with an API of 232 as of 11am while Pasir Gudang had an API reading of 199.

As of 5pm Wednesday, seven areas recorded unhealthy, 39 moderate and five good air quality readings, but there were no very unhealthy or hazardous readings.

Aqua satellite images show 376 hotspots over Sumatra while the NOAA satellite shows 173 hotspots, with cloud cover preventing precise readings.

According to the Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre, scattered hotspots with localised smoke plumes were detected mainly in central Sumatra.
"Moderate to dense smoke haze was detected over Riau province and spreading across the Malacca Straits.
"Scattered hotspot activities were also detected over Borneo due to prevailing dry weather conditions."

There are about 150 hotspots in Borneo, according to satellite images.

Meanwhile in BATU PAHAT, clinics, hospitals, pharmacies and even Chinese medicine shops are getting more patients as the haze situation in the district worsens.

Private practitioner Dr King Ban Siang said more patients at his clinic were complaining of respiratory tract issues, sore throats and coughing.

He said worst-affected patients were children and those with asthmatic problems.

"Those with respiratory tract diseases increased about 20% to 30%."Some complained that the haze this time is worst as the air is not only cloudy, but also carries ashes and fine particles," he said, and also advised the public to cover their food.

Pantai Hospital consultant physician Dr Ho Lee Ming said the hospital treated 39 outpatients cases from Jun 16 to 19 and eight inpatient cases at present due to upper respiratory tract infection.

Dr Ho also advised members of public to cut down on outdoor activities, take plenty of fluids, wear masks and to seek advice from doctors immediately if they had difficulty breathing.

Chinese medicine shop assistant Pua Zhi Hao said more people were buying herbal teas to sooth sore throats and relieve coughs.

"Almost all of our customers the past few days are looking for herbs for respiratory system complaints," he said.

A pharmacist who declined to be named said their stock of masks had been depleted.

"We are out of stock at the moment. Sales of Vitamin C and fever reduction (medication) will also go up every time the haze comes," she added.

More Haze Operations Rooms For Affected Districts - Subramaniam

KUALA LUMPUR, June 20 (Bernama) -- The Health Ministry will set up more haze operations rooms with sufficient medical equipment in all the affected districts, especially in Johor.


Its minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said the move was taken following the worsening haze conditions that had reached hazardous levels, while close monitoring would begin immediately.

He advised the public not to carry out any outdoor activities unless unavoidable, to prevent getting haze-related illness.

"The clinics are also to be always ready for any eventuality while children, the elderly and those with asthma especially, should stay indoors.
"Most importantly, don't carry out open burning as this will only worsen the haze situation," he told reporters, here, Thursday.

Dr Subramaniam also advised that individuals experiencing eye irritation, sore throat, coughing and breathing difficulty to immediately go to the nearest clinic for treatment.

He said the ministry was ready in dealing with the situation following hazardous air levels in Muar, Pasir Gudang and Kota Tinggi but until tonight, there were no reports of residents experiencing haze-related illness.

Jerebu (HAZE) : Panduan Kesihatan Untuk Anda


Apakah Jerebu?
Jerebu ialah satu fenomena yang disebabkan oleh kewujudan banyak partikel-partikel kecil yang tidak boleh dilihat oleh mata kasar dan terapung-apung di udara. Partikel-partikel ini mungkin berasal secara semula jadi ataupun kesan sampingan daripada aktiviti manusia. Apabila partikel-partikel ini wujud dalam kuantiti yang banyak dan berkelompok ianya boleh menyekat pancaran cahaya matahari ke bumi. Oleh yang demikian keadaan ini mengurangkan jarak pandangan mata kasar.
 
Punca - Punca Jerebu
Punca utama jerebu adalah akibat daripada :
·        Pembakaran Secara Terbuka
·        Asap Dari Kilang
·        Asap Dari Kenderaan

 HINDARI DARIPADA PERBUATAN YANG BOLEH MENYEBABKAN JEREBU.

Indeks Pencemaran Udara (IPU)
IPU diperolehi daripada pengukuran habuk yang halus (10 mikron ke bawah) dan beberapa jenis gas yang boleh menjejaskan kesihatan iaitu karbon monoksida, sulfur dioksida, nitrogen dioksida dan ozon. IPU digunakan sebagai panduan untuk mengetahui kualiti udara dan kesannya terhadap kesihatan seperti berikut :-

NILAI IPU          STATUS

0 – 50                    Baik

51 - 100                 Sederhana

101 - 200               Tidak Sihat

201 - 300                Sangat Tidak Sihat

301 - 500                Berbahaya

Anda perlu mengikuti perkembangan semasa melalui media massa (akhbar, televisyen dan radio) untuk mengetahui tahap jerebu semasa di tempat anda supaya dapat mengambil langkah - Iangkah pencegahan.

JEREBU MENGANCAM KESIHATAN ANDA
Keadaan jerebu yang berterusan akan mendatangkan kesan yang buruk kepada semua orang terutama golongan yang berisiko tinggi iaitu :-

Ø Kanak-kanak

Ø Orang tua

Ø Mereka yang mengalami penyakit  asma

Ø bronkitis

Ø radang paru-paru

Ø penyakit paru-paru yang kronik

Ø jantung

Ø alahan

Ø Perokok

Ø Mereka yang sentiasa bekerja di luar pejabat atau rumah.

Apakah Tanda dan Gejala Kesan Jerebu Kepada Kesihatan
Kesan-kesan yang akan dialami setelah terdedah secara berterusan kepada jerebu termasuklah:

Ø Terasa gatal-gatal di bahagian kerongkong dan batuk-batuk.

Ø Terasa sukar untuk bernafas atau sesak nafas.

Ø Mata terasa pedih dan berair.

Ø Hidung berair dan kerap bersin.

Ø Kulit badan terasa gatal-gatal.

Ø Terasa sakit dada.

 Dapatkan rawatan dan nasihat doktor di klinik berhampiran sekiranya anda mempunyai tanda-tanda dan gejala tersebut.

CEGAHLAH PENYAKIT AKIBAT JEREBU. IKUTI NASIHAT BERIKUT:-
·        Mereka yang mengalami penyakit-penyakit seperti batuk, selesema, asma, sakit mata, sakit jantung atau penyakit paru-paru yang kronik hendaklah datang ke klinik dengan segera jika keadaan penyakit bertambah buruk.
·        mereka yang di dalam kumpulan berisiko tinggi hendaklah sentiasa mengambil ubat seperti yang dinasihatkan.
·        Penutup hidung (nasal mask) hendaklah digunakan oleh semua penunggang motosikal, mereka yang bekerja di luar bangunan atau di tempat-tempat yang berhabuk dan juga mereka yang dalam kumpulan berisiko tinggi.
·        Perokok yang mempunyai anak kecil, ibu bapa tua dan sanak saudara yang berpenyakit jangan merokok di dalam rumah.
·        Sejauh yang boleh, orang ramai dinasihatkan supaya tinggal di dalam bangunan atau rumah.
·        Kurangkan aktiviti sukan di luar rumah
·        Orang ramai dinasihatkan supaya sentiasa membasuh muka dan bahagian kulit yang terdedah kepada jerebu dengan air bersih.
·        Sekiranya kenderaan anda berhawa dingin, sila gunakannya.
·        Orang ramai dinasihatkan supaya sentiasa meminum air yang banyak.
·        Perokok dinasihatkan supaya tidak merokok apabila keadaan udara tidak sihat ( iaitu IPU yang melebihi 100 )
·        Mereka yang berisiko tinggi dinasihatkan mengambil cuti di luar kawasan yang berjerebu sekiranya keadaan jerebu berterusan pada tahap berbahaya di kawasan mereka.
