CLINIC HEALTH ADVISORY
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. WEAR A FACE MASK.

The CSA-B Health Services Center reminds the CSA-B community to take extra precautions as Bacolod City experiences VERY UNHEALTHY AIR QUALITY associated with haze.

Poor air quality can expose us to fine particles and other airborne pollutants that may irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Prolonged exposure may also worsen respiratory symptoms, particularly among individuals who are more vulnerable to air pollution.

To help protect yourself and others:

😷 WEAR A WELL-FITTED FACE MASK
Wear a properly fitted mask when going outdoors, particularly when you need to spend an extended period outside.

🌫️ LIMIT PROLONGED OR STRENUOUS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Consider postponing strenuous exercise, outdoor training, and other activities that require prolonged exposure to the haze until air quality improves.

🏠 STAY INDOORS WHEN POSSIBLE
Reduce unnecessary outdoor exposure and keep doors and windows closed when appropriate, especially during periods when the haze is noticeable.

💧 STAY HYDRATED AND MONITOR YOUR HEALTH
Drink enough water and pay attention to symptoms such as coughing, throat irritation, eye irritation, chest discomfort, or difficulty breathing.

❤️ TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS IF YOU ARE MORE VULNERABLE
Children, older adults, pregnant women, and individuals with asthma, respiratory conditions, or heart conditions may be more sensitive to the effects of poor air quality and should take additional precautions.

If you experience significant difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe dizziness, or worsening symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

Let’s protect ourselves and one another.

Stay informed and continue to follow advisories and recommendations from the Bacolod City Health Office and the Environmental Management Bureau–Negros Island Region (EMB-NIR).

Your health. Our priority.
